Abstract:
This paper addresses participatory poetics as writing in progress, in which the notion of authorship is subverted by means of interaction with the audience in collective processes of composition, generating the discontinuity of experience, and also demanding the consideration of discontinuity, so as to avoid the simplistic appropriation of post-structuralist metaphors in the theoretical and critical appraisals of relational art.

“I have been interested in interactivity since the 1990s, when I started teaching direction workshops and often found myself exploring creative processes where interactivity generated a transit of control because of audience participation. The issues of who controls and to what extent one can actually control interactive performance cannot be charted in rehearsal because the boundaries of fiction and History are not only blurred during the actual time of the event, but may involve a great deal of unpredictable contents
and actions.
Such participation differs substantially from the theatrical routine for two reasons: there is no separation between the stage and the audience, and the spectators engage in play as composition agents. I have used the term composition agent because in addition to not being stage oriented not emerging
from playwriting, the events that I address challenge single authorship and the actions
of performance composition
in process.”
