Abstract

I wanted to analyze the differences in performance when a cast of actors performs in front of an indirect audience, or, in this particular case, a radio studio compared to when the same cast of actors perform in front of a live audience they can with which they can interact. As a performer myself, I know only what I perceive to be differences in performance quality that depends on the presence or absence of an audience. Facilitating a project where a direct audience was not completely necessary allowed me to interview actors about their own personal performative experiences. While this particular section will focus on the theatrical aspects of this endeavor as well as the creative processes involved, I will examine King of Hearts through a psychological perspective in a later section labeled “WALF and Nevins Shows Responses”.
