This book focuses on the â aural turnâ in contemporary theatre-making, examining a number of seemingly disparate trends that foreground speech and sound - â post-verbatimâ theatre, 'amplified storytelling (works using microphones and headphones), and â gig theatreâ that incorporates live music performance.

"How does an audience hear a live performance? What are the relationships between speech and sound, polyphony and counterpoint, that generate meaning for a viewer/listener at the theatre? How is theatre as a form situated within the oral and aural domains? In this book, Radosavljevic radicalises and reclaims sound as central to the act of theatre-making, and how its aural contours and shapes have changed and are changing new work in amplified storytelling and gig theatre and post-verbatim theatre. This book is thorough, deeply considered, provocative and alters with whispery and sometimes loud insistence on the material, technological and spiritual dimensions of speech and sound in performance. Animated and situated within interstitial cultural and linguistic spaces, Radosavljevic asks their reader to take into account the effect and affect of text and non-text-centered works and artists that are creating pieces that demand acts of replay, rewind and multi-tracking, taking audiences on journeys through spatial and temporal orientation and disorientations in order to achieve new dramaturgical forms. This book is a complex, symphonic work that demands multiple re-readings!" - Caridad Svich, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, USA
"Duska Radosavljevic's book gives a critically and creatively rigorous and meta-sensitive analysis of dramaturgical intersections between Post-Verbatim, Amplified Storytelling and Gig Theatre. Operating in-between the disciplinary borderlines - and yet firmly rooted in theatre and performance studies - the book offers a needed discussion on dramaturgical innovations within contemporary sound and speech-based performance-making and its dialogue with digital developments. Radosavljevic's explorations are enriched by her international and multilingual outlook and sensitivity evident in compelling examples, her meta-criticality towards language, and aurality and orality as concepts. The book makes an exemplary case - additionally spelt out in its final section - for interdisciplinarity within theatre research methodology and the ethics of dialogue between oneself, research, artists, and the broad theatre community. It is an academic gift for scholars of all levels. It will also be an invaluable addition to reading lists in modules exploring dramaturgy, digital theatre, contemporary performance making, and research methodologies." - Dr Kasia Lech, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
