Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper is interested in positing a new performance analysis concept in support of both seeking and recognising performances that include generosity as a key component. The politics of distemper allow for insults and derogatory remarks to be shared widely by anonymous online trolls and via Twitter and press conferences by the current President of the United States. These feel like dangerous times. I seek to provide a counterbalance by turning to a performance analysis of plays and performances that feature the enactment of generosity as a key part of what was experienced by audiences.There are three kinds of generosity in performance that I wish to trace. These three types are:1. Structural generosity2. Improvisational generosity3. Intimate generosity
