Summary: Visuality in theatre proposes a new theatrical approach to the dynamics of looking engendered in the theatre. Visuality, this book argues, is not something we look at but something we create by looking.Visuality is an embodied experience involving more than just the optical senses. The relationship between someone looking and someone seen is fundamental to the experiences theatre and performance can evoke, while at the same time this relationship remains, to a large extent, invisible to the act of seeing.
