The articles in this issue address varied fields of performance: opera, rock music, and
engaged theatre. Taken together, these pieces look in detail at how individual
performers, prop-makers, directors, playwrights, composers, and others work
interactively with aesthetic materials (e.g., scripts, lights, bodies, musical scores and
instruments, etc.) to carefully design and carry out a ‘successful’ performance (both in
terms of achieving a set aim of audience impact, as well as seamlessly integrating
performer and performance). In other words, success in performance not only
requires close attention to an artistic and aesthetic narrative, but also significant
emotional and social management by individual performers to play a role in this
narrative.
