Remembering Praxis: Performance in the Digital Age

For nearly two decades, performers have been engaging in digitally mediated performance practices. Though performance theorists have been debating the ontological status of performance that relies on digital and information technologies, practitioners have carried on without waiting for a scholarly verdict. In this essay, I interrogate the central ontological condition of the live body in performance theory in light of digitally mediated performance, making a call for a renewed commitment to performance praxis. Furthermore, I argue that performance practitioners have understood the virtual long before the advent of digital technologies.
