7th December #AudienceSoho discussion Q: – can audience reaction be easily manipulated/manufactured? Pack mentality? Or in-the-moment real emotion? #AudienceSoho

@KellyTeruko
Easier to manipulate if the audience is the subject. Otherwise evoking a desired emotional reaction from a crowd is good theatre

@KellyTeruko
It’s more of social experiment rather than theatre. Talking on a stage doesn’t equal performance or ‘theatre’ it needs focus.

@KellyTeruko
I mean if the sole purpose of the ‘performance’ is to get a specific reaction rather than present & get ideas flowing.

@KellyTeruko
I don’t view ‘Audience’ as a piece of theatre per se- it’s more suitable for a Psychology class in my view.

8th December #AudienceSoho discussion Q:
-…both us as part of audience & us ‘standing up’ in front of an audience. Computer screen is 4th wall of sorts… but an interactive one?

@Veryn77
…..those of us who love the theatre feel we are getting the full ‘theatrical experience’ with the online element too! :)

@Veryn77
it certainly gives a different perspective as an audience member…..

@jkmacam #Audience I wanted to walk out but I didn’t. I think I made their point.
