A Conversation about Dialogue (SymposiumVoices)

Abstract

This document, transcribed and edited from audio recordings, attempts to capture some of the discussion held during the one-day symposium, ‘The Author and the Audience’, that took place at theUniversity of Leeds's Workshop Theatre on 6 November 2010. The debate circulates around the question of the extent to which audience response is solicited and/or welcomed by Tim Crouch's play The Author, and the responsibility of its performers in relationship to vocal feedback.
