Beskrivning
Performing Animation, Animating Performance: Bodies, Voices and Spaces Between Screen and Stage offers a wide-ranging account of the increasing multimedia performativity of animation, exploring what it means for animation to creatively and conceptually ‘perform’ but also how different types of screen and stage performances have been historically, culturally and technologically ‘animated’. It features a series of interdisciplinary case studies written by international scholars and leading voices from the fields of animation, performance and screen studies, as well as animators, creative practitioners, artists and performers, who map the variance of animated media through an interdisciplinary and expanded exploration of its forms, styles, and practices. Chapters cover a diverse range of examples that stake a claim for the vitality of performing animation and animated performances across multiple sites, spaces and industries, from nineteenth-century Japanese theatre and Hollywood stop-motion puppetry to contemporary digital deepfakes and the mediatised spectacle of VFX-driven live musical concerts.

Recensioner i media

This is the first major work systematically exploring the innumerable facets of animation performativity. Taken together, the essays in Performing Animation, Animating Performance: Bodies, Voices, and Spaces Between Screen and Stage outline a hermeneutic, expressed in various and sometimes competing definitions of performance, that gives us a glimpse of the cohesive dark matter binding not only animated media, but also human awareness and activity in so many forms.
