'This book offers terrific insights into performance and intimacy by exploring and yoking 'visceral' and 'digital' performance(s), each of which can significantly affect the nature and experience of intimacy. The authors use inventive approaches to generate critical and innovative discussions of intimacy in/and performance.' - Professor Joanne Tompkins, School of English, Media Studies, and Art History, University of Queensland, Australia

'This collection provides a very useful critical context for thinking about the visceral and the digital, and it offers a range of approaches and practices that will be of interest to scholars and students in performance and theatre studies. It presents a rich and timely selection of work from artists, scholars, and curators that draws a significant trajectory of intimacy in digital and body-based practices and will add to the ever-growing field of intimate, one-to-one, and technology-based work.' - Eirini Kartsaki, Contemporary Theatre Review
