Aurality and the Actor in Filter Theatre’s Twelfth Night
Abstract
This article explores the relationship between aurality and the actor in Filter Theatre’s Twelfth Night. It explores how Filter’s collaborative process and focus on resolving staging problems sonically creates a productive interplay between visual, embodied and aural modes of performance. It also considers how the productive tension created between musicians and actors in this performance space invites the audience to imaginatively collude with Filter’s playful engagements with the affective and disruptive potential of sound.
