Strange Proximity

<p><em>What happens in the relationship between audience and performer? What</em></p><p><em>choices are made in the space of performance about how we attend to</em></p><p><em>others?</em></p><p><em>A Strange Proximity </em>examines stage presence as key to thinking about</p><p>performance and ethics. It is the first phenomenological account of ethics</p><p>generated from rather than applied to contemporary theatrical productions.</p><p>The ethical possibilities of the stage argues Jon Foley Sherman rest not</p><p>so much in its objects—the performers and the show itself—as in the “how”</p><p>of attending to others.<em> </em><em>A Strange Proximity</em> is a unique perspective on the</p><p>implications of attention in performance.</p>
