Welcome to the third episode of the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies (ACIS) Podcast Series: in search of Italian cultures, histories, languages, and identities, one article or book at a time!
Each episode discusses a recent publication by an Italianist working in Australia or Aotearoa-New Zealand.
In this third episode, we discover Dr Angela Viora's latest book on The Ecology of the Performance Art Process: Fragmentation, Union, Reconfiguration (Routledge, 2025).
Angela's book genuinely shifts how we think about art. It doesn’t just analyse performance art as something to be seen but as something lived, offered, and co-created.
Angela discusses the transformative effects of art performance on audiences and societies over time. She talks about her work as a performance artist and gives some concrete, poetic examples that pull you right into the experience.
