Abstract
Digital innovations over the past few decades have opened up new possibilities of communication and data transmission. It is, however, through wider changes in perception and conceptualisation that digital intermediality has impacted upon contemporary theatre. The shift consists not merely in the application of theatrical tools, but in creating new ways of seeing and experiencing for the audience. According to Freda Chappie and Chiel Kattenbelt, intermediality has been ‘about changes in theatre practice and thus about changing perceptions of performance, which become visible through the process of staging’ (2006b, p. 12).
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity: Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is wing’d Cupid painted blind
