Covid-19 has been described as a ‘digital pandemic’. But who might the characterisation of the pandemic as ‘digital’ leave behind? This timely book reconsiders the pandemic as ‘postdigital’, examining tensions between a growing postdigital attitude of disenchantment with digital technologies and the increasing reliance on adapted modes of online practice mid-lockdown in both performance-making and healthcare.What emerged amidst the pandemic restrictions was a theatre that was unable to show its face, instead adapting into a variety of ‘covid-safe’ remote forms of engagement, from ‘Zoom plays’ to self-generating experiences sent by post. This book explores the ways that both performances and healthcare practices found proxies for direct touch and face-to-face encounters, deconstructing the way that care and resilience were spectacularized by political actors online.Liam Jarvis and Karen Savage explore aspects of care in relation to technology, spectacle and facilitation, and how new modes of delivery and the repurposing of theatre spaces that were displaced amidst the mass migration online have been enabling as well as controversial. The variety of case studies assessed includes internet memes, online films, performances of everyday resilience through social media and participatory theatre productions, including Thaddeus Phillips’ Zoom Motel, Coney’s Telephone and Nightcap’s Handle with Care.

Reflecting on the violent impact of digital border systems and surveillance practices that dehumanises migrating bodies, this book draws parallels to similar harmful acts of identity marking in relation to performance and migration.Performance practice creates an opportunity for bodies reduced to data at digital border zones to reject the numerical label forced upon them, making a more human and multifaceted counternarrative. Leading with the original concept of ‘choreographing evidence’, the book applies Practice as Research methods to performance works created with artist and refugee Tom Tegento: Uninvited (2021) and Contagion (2021). This work disrupts surveillance technologies and their violence towards bodies at borders as well as using them in alternative ways within performance practice. It considers how choreography which utilises both overt optical tracking technologies and GPS methods embedded in smart devices can enable othered bodies to redraw borders, reclaim narratives and resituate the self.Alongside this PaR work, the book analyses contemporary performance which uses the body and/or technology to explore narratives of migration. It offers examples of UK and European works which critique the way migrating bodies are represented within performance, including Flight Pattern (2019), A Place to Sit (2021), The Walk (Little Amal) (2021) and Now is the Time to Say Nothing (2019). The insights gained offer a richer understanding of the power dynamics at digital borders, how they function, how they can be resisted and how they are felt and lived.

An investigation of how artists use data in creating performance and how data is visualised in researching performance.[ST1] Artists and scholars now use data in creative ways to make and investigate theatre and performance while critiquing the power relations inherent in data collection, analysis, and visualisation. This book brings together artists who use data to create performance with researchers who visualise data about performance. Each chapter is organised around a key idea about data as performance, dramaturgy, documentation, flow, and genealogy. They use a range of case studies from around the globe, including the Builders’ Association’s I Agree to the Terms (2022),The Haka Party Incident (2022) by Katie Wolfe in Aotearoa, Rimini Protokoll’s 100% City series (since 2008), Catalogue by Rawcus in Melbourne (2013), and Algorithmen by Turbo Pascal in Germany (2014), among many others.Demonstrating how live performance embodies data for social critique and improved data literacy, this book illuminates how artists generate data through dramaturgical processes. It also explains how sharing information about performance within a database enables broader investigations of touring patterns, long-term programming, and lines of influence between artists. Examples of data considered within this book include: play scripts, publicity material, videos and images of performance, live performing arts databases, geographical locations of performance venues, and networks of production cast and crew. By interweaving digital methods with creative research, this appeals to those looking for creative ways to engage with data and performance, and provides an accessible and engaging guide to working with performance data in digital cultures for artists, students, curators, and researchers.
