It is no secret that many theatre scholars and programmers avoid engaging directly in participatory art. Why do we keep on doing it? Do we have a notion that the general public demands this interaction? What changes when an audience member is asked to join in a direct interaction with an artwork or artist? Do we demand more from the spectator than their engaged act of perceiving, interpreting and processing what is being shown on site? Art and its impact in society around us is a topic that is constantly up for discussion, as it should be. What if we look at it through the participatory art lenses?
