An Architecture of Interaction

We looked at a reading in class called An Archiecture of Interaction by Best. He describes the three main categories of audience that are generally involved in a performance. These are participants, onlookers and witnesses of trace. The participants in a performance are those who are not actors or practitioners but are directly involved with the performance. Onlookers are those who witness rehearsals as a performance, and witnesses of trace are those who see documentation such as photos or video as the final piece after the piece has been performed.

In my performance I will be having witnesses of trace who see the footage of the final piece and participants who will be involved in the performance.
