Abstract:

At the heart of the dramatic arts lies a single phenomenon: human
social interaction. The crux of the practitioner's work involves
knowing how interaction works: knowing what a pause does, or why a
particular intonation contour changes a line from interrogative to
accusative, or what goes into inferring something about a character.
Social Interaction and Dramatic Performance uses case studies from
dramatic performances and data from real-world interaction to present
findings from interaction analytic research.
Over ten chapters, Spencer Hazel illuminates the nuances that shape
our everyday interactions, demonstrating how practitioners of the
dramatic arts seek to develop and construct authentic representations
of interaction. This book also explores the processes by which these
representations of interaction are produced through interaction:
between actors, between actor and director and between others in the
creative team. It offers insights into the intricate ways people
organise their interactions, their social affairs and their
institutions, providing a toolkit for students and practitioners of
the performing arts to embed the finer details of social interaction
in their crafting of dramatic performance.
