Abstract
This chapter addresses theories around intermediality in performance, placing such ideas and formulations directly in relation to live intermedial practice in order to understand how intermediality works in this particular practice. Firstly, definitions of intermediality in performance are discussed. Secondly, theories around the operation of intermediality—how it works—are addressed. Finally, what intermediality produces, specifically in terms of the nature of the experience generated, is considered. In each case, the theoretical frameworks are addressed through specific features and instances of live intermedial practice in order to reconfigure what intermediality in this practice is, does and produces.
