    • Abstract:
      The article explores how emerging models of audience-performer interactivity and new ways of imagining and occupying theatrical space help to reshape theatrical knowledge and audience skill. Topics include the model of Shakespeare as high art to be consumed respectfully, and new ways of enskilling audiences gained from changing haptic and embodied modes of interaction with Shakespearean theater.
