Theatre as home within media space

...it is never possible to stand back and view the whole structure because we are all in it and operative within it...we operate in the sensual spaces between media...theatre is a hypermedium for all the separate elements awaiting the activating and organising mind and body of the perceiver...

theatre has become a hypermedium and a home to all. It provides space where the art forms of theatre, dance and opera meet interact and integrate with the media of cinema, television and the new technologies; creating profusions of texts, intertexts, inter-media and spaces in-between....

intermediality [is a] meeting point in-between the performers, the observers, and the confluence of media involved in a performance at a particular moment in time, with theatre providing the staging space
