A Strange Proximity examines stage presence as key to thinking about performance and ethics. It is the first phenomenological account generated from, rather than applied to, performance. Jon Foley Sherman presents a unique perspective on the implications of attention in performance.
What happens in the relationship between audience and performer? What
choices are made in the space of performance about how we attend to
others?
A Strange Proximity examines stage presence as key to thinking about
performance and ethics. It is the first phenomenological account of ethics
generated from, rather than applied to, contemporary theatrical productions.
The ethical possibilities of the stage, argues Jon Foley Sherman, rest not
so much in its objects—the performers and the show itself—as in the “how”
of attending to others. A Strange Proximity is a unique perspective on the
implications of attention in performance.
