Byrnes, Vanessa. (2020, June). ‘Here is my space; the nobleness of life is to do thus’: democratizing performance and emboding presence at the Pop-up Globe Theatre in Auckland. Paper presented at the Fifteenth International Conference on The Arts in Society, Galway, Ireland.
Abstract
This paper considers elemental, performative, and spatial opportunities available to actors, directors, and audience in the construction of performance on the open-air stage. This stems from reflection and evidence gained while directing and producing a heavilyedited, contemporary reworking of Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra at the Pop-up Globe Theatre’s inaugural season in Auckland (March-April 2016). This temporary spatial response to Shakespeare gave birth to something quite new in the South Pacific that has since been iterated many times, and proven to be a successful exercise in democratizing performance for many
