Purveyors of media technology have attempted to colonise contemporary America [read: the world]. Given its efforts to compete with the dominant form and content of the media, theatre has apparently agreed to this colonisation. It is also clear that this colonisation has infused theatre practice and scholarship with the need to investigate its own place and shape in relation to the dominant medium. The very nature of this investigation opens a door to the consideration that theatrical presence can be a perception, a constructed aura agreed by the public and used by theatre to compete in a mediatised world.
