Congrats to organizers @TheatreJenny, @kelseyljacobs and Scott Mealey and presenters on yesterday's fantastic and stimulating audience research symposium! Thanks also to @KirstySedgman /@AudienceResearc and @kelseyljacobs for the comprehensive and informative tweets. #CSAR2019
@SignyLynch, introducing you to some other awesome critics/academics/academics studying criticism (acacritics????!) - @churlishmeg @BustingFree @shakespeareanLK @maddydeliqette @Daisy5660 @KarenFricker2 @DianaADamian @margheritalaera #csar2019
We talk a lot about the need for artists to value the intelligence of the audience. But how do we understand *emotional intelligence* in all this? And what happens when audiences do not value the intelligence of artists? Kathleen asks. #csar2019
Sociology reminds us that as audience researchers we're also here to learn the questions we could be asking, and to answer the questions respondents may have for us. One of their respondents asked: how will you listen to us? #csar2019
Kathleen Gallagher & Anne Wessels talking theatre and youth. Theatre audience research may have looked to sociology for its methods, but not for analysis. #csar2019
What does it mean to assume the authority to judge the work of another?, @KarenFricker2 & @LMichelleMac ask. Personal note: for me, the most exciting criticism (e.g. @theatremagazine's output) today embeds that personal subjective questioning within the review itself. #csar2019
Successful arts criticism training seeks to mobilise the voices and experiences of participants, not to indoctrinate them into traditional forms of reviewing - here! let me teach you how to do what I get paid to do! The student should get to shape the curriculum. #csar2019
"On what basis do traditional theatre reviewers produce judgments of performances?". On the basis of the expert schoolmaster & ignorant pupil, @KarenFricker2 & @LMichelleMac argue. #csar2019
Next up, @KarenFricker2 & @LMichelleMac on 'The Emancipated Amateur", using Rancière's emancipated spectator to ask what an 'emancipated critical practice' might look like in theatre reviewing cultures (cc @churlishmeg, @BustingFree, @shakespeareanLK, @daisy5660) #csar2019
A familiar dynamic:
respondent: YOU got it wrong.
researcher: er I'm not actually part of the performance, just studying it-
respondent: well what YOU should have done was...
so difficult to separate the figure of researcher-of-performance from maker-of-performance! #csar2019
.@TheatreJenny has been focusing on an 'ethnographically-inspired, phenomenological' study of community-engaged performance. Her presentation is titled "The Work of Audiences". #csar2019
Is there an upper limit on Arnstein's Ladder, where theatre ceases to be theatre? @queensjenn asks. #csar2019
.@queensjenn considers Claire Bishop's challenge in her book Artificial Hells to Arnstein's Ladder (1969). For Bishop, 'more' participation does not necessarily = 'better' participation. #csar2019
Now @queensjenn asking what happens when audiences become citizens? One way to think about participation is via the tension between obligations & rights. Civic structures strive to create a better world, but *also* to bring about better ways of making a better world. #csar2019
Next @SycoraxPine on @BarbicanCentre's 2011 Lullaby. Critics could be heard muttering that £42 per ticket was daylight robbery for a theatre ticket (ah, how things change), yet one of the cheapest hotel rooms in London. #csar2019
It’s also a decolonising strategy, refuting the colonial desire to KNOW, to penetrate. Forcing audiences to respond to site by themselves - not reading minetically, translating signs etc, but living the ritual of space, shifting from mimetic to mythetic experience. #csar2019
Now, Andy Houston on his project examining the role of theatre in “conciliation” projects with indigenous people (“reconciliation assumes that there was a good relationship to begin with”) #csar2019
Now @melaniewilmink on audience ecologies, bringing participatory arts practices into our audience research discussions. #csar2019
Back after lunch, @larkspur20 tells us that doing audience research with museums is great - “they let you do anything you want”, & are also hungry to know more about visitors’ experiences. #csar2019
