Abstract
Utilizing multiple audience research methods, the authors of this article offer an analysis of audience research that expands notions of immersion across theatrical dramaturgies. We posit that a polyvocal audience research approach can challenge conventional understandings of theatrical immersion as primarily a material condition. Building on previous research into immersion and audience experience, we relocate the primary site of immersion from the physical conditions of performance to the internal meaning-making structures of unique audience members. We collaboratively build our analysis on a variety of performance styles. This demonstrates how attending to the multiplicity of audience experience can productively support new insights in the field of theatre and performance studies.
