Josh Nettheim is a performing artist currently researching voice and listening in contemporary performance. “Mobilising Theatre” – while largely consisting of Josh intentionally doing the “wrong” thing with smartphones – is a practice-led investigation into where, why and how voice emerges in live performance and what this might uncover about shifting practices of listening where digital media are concerned.
