	Techniques for Interactive Audience Participation
		Audience Interaction paper, presented at ICMI 2002 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
		These techniques allow audiences with hundreds of people to control onscreen activity by (1) leaning left and right in their seats, (2) batting a beach ball while its shadow is used as a pointing device, and (3) pointing laser pointers at the screen.
		The audience members use their lasers to point at choices, and the bar graphs continually update to show the audience's preferences until the time limit is reached.

	Audience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An audience is the/a group of people who participate in and experience or encounter a work of art, literature, theatre, music or academics in any medium.
		Audience members participate in different ways in different kinds of art, with some kinds inviting overt audience participation and others allowing only modest clapping and criticism and reception.
		The Audience Participation elements are often seen as the most important part of the picture, to the extent that the audio options on the DVD version include the option of callbacks being included in the audio.

		The audience as a whole was then asked to respond with applause for each volunteer as they "did their jobs" to determine which approach was best.
		Encouraging an audience to participate, and being able to go with, and manage, the flow of what happens when you do, also requires presenters to think about their content in an entirely different way.

	Age and Arts Participation, 1982-1997
		While the opera audience was the oldest in 1982 and aged somewhat through the years to 1997, it was the one art form whose audience aged less rapidly than did the population as a whole.
		The alternative prediction is that the lower level of arts participation is a consequence of their early liberal experience and will persist over the coming decades, while post-boomer cohorts, raised in a more conservative atmosphere, will enjoy levels of arts participation comparable to pre-boomers.
		The importance of education is further underlined by the fact that the respondents father's education is significantly associated with participation even for the pre-boomers who were at least in their mid-fifties at the time of the survey.

		Giving up a level of stage control, and demonstrating the ability to get it back, are essential ingredients of stage shows that include audience participation.
		Large portions of "Tony and Tina's Wedding," "Flanagan's Wake" and "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral" have unscripted audience participation written into the show, and in countless dinner-theater murder mysteries audience participation is the entire raison d'etre.
		"[Audience participation] almost always works best when the person coming up doesn't try to ham it up, because what the audience loves is one of them, an everyday person, going on stage and being surprised and not being in control.

	City Council keeps audience input rules
		In what is a temporary end to a debate over the past two months, a resolution that would have changed the audience participation segment of council meetings was narrowly defeated.

		On the other hand, the participation of the audience is highly controlled, the new rules of engagement are clearly established, and the audience community is formed for this limited time and placed.
		In pantomime the audience member might be regarded as passive in the creation of meaning - there is little room for the interpretation required by fragmented narratives and postmodern performance - but s/he has a role to play in the performance itself, participating in the comedy and the plot.
		In experimental performances the placing of the audience in or around the performance space, or the audience members' choice to move within a defined area allows for a different engagement of performer and spectator than in "realist" theatre performances where the audience position is specified, often static and from a single perspective.

	Phish.Net FAQ: (none)
		Language Signals: The most obvious example of audience participation solicited by the band is the "secret language" of musical cues.
		During the evolution of "Stash" a five-beat riff by Fishman was originally mimicked by audience members, then supplanted by a four-beat clap by the audience; this sounds to many like two claps on A Live One, and so many only clap twice here now.
		The loudest spontaneous (perhaps the loudest) such en masse chant was probably 8-16-98 at the Lemonwheel, where it was loud enough to be picked up by the mics and broadcast across the event, though Trey only grinned and the band played the Beastie Boys' "Sabatogue" instead.

		Even from a mere psychological position, audience participation is more than just a chance to keep everyone involved awake and alert to the issues at hand.
		On the contrary, by increasing participation in a meeting or by asking an audience to become an integral part of the decision-making process, people become more in tune with what is going on in front of them and more appreciative that their voice is being heard.
		In this way, younger audiences will not be bored and older audiences will not feel condescended to during an audience participation presentation.

		It’s been suggested that the people involved in the audience participation section are ‘planted’ but this isn’t true.
		And the Audience: Again, mostly young, but there were a few 'middle classed' oldish people around, including one annoying chap (about 50) who throughout exclaimed to his son 'I don't understand this, nooo, I don't understand this at all.'
