performative 
By Alex and Dan
The Performative Mode 
• The final mode Nichols discusses, is easily 
confused with the participatory mode, and 
Nichols remains somewhat nebulous about 
their distinctions.
Example: 
• In the documentary “Touching The Void” 
when “Joe Simpson” touching the void has 
rein acted scenes within in this documentary. 
http://vimeo.com/22437968
• One person in particular created a few 
performative documentaries “Marlon Riggs” who 
created a documentary in 1990 called “Tongues 
Untied”. In one of his documentaries he said that 
he used his experience as a gay black dancer in 
New York City too create this documentary.
