Performance; dramaturgy; and scenography are often explored in isolation; but in Theatrical Reality; Campbell Edinborough describes their connectedness in order to investigate how the experience of reality is constructed and understood during performance. Drawing on sociological theory; cognitive psychology; and embodiment studies; Edinborough analyses our seemingly paradoxical understanding of theatrical reality; guided by the contexts shaping relationships between performer; spectator; and performance space. Through a range of examples from theatre; dance; circus; and film; Theatrical Reality examines how the liminal spaces of performance foster specific ways of conceptualising time; place; and reality.
