Liz Liu

Current Research

Liz is a PhD student whose work explores immersive theatre through Jacques Rancière's concept of the emancipated spectator. Her research examines the relationship between audience participation, agency, and spectatorship, questioning how immersive performance challenges conventional performer–audience relationships. Drawing on her background in dance and choreography, she is particularly interested in how spatial and embodied experiences influence spectators' autonomy, interpretation, and engagement.
