With “Withdrawing the Performer. Facilitating Participatory Sense-Making”, Imani Rameses (Center Research Focus, PhD candidate PhD in Art), Charlotta Ruth (Angewandte Performance Lab), and Jasmin Schaitl (Angewandte Performance Lab) combine their approaches from visual arts, choreography, and cognitive neuroscience to examine participatory modalities in immersive performative settings through the lens of social cognition. They focus on the role of the facilitator, a nearly invisible and overlooked, but highly important part of any performative situation. Working with facilitator experts in a practice-based peer-to-peer exchange, the authors seek to understand different methods for reducing thresholds and modulating participatory situations.
