| Summary |
Featuring a mix of both practitioners and scholars, this much-needed volume explores the sites of contemporary performance, and the notion of place. This significant and timely collection examines how we experience performance's many and varied sites as part of the fabric of the art work itself, whether they are institutional or transient, real or online. Contributors including Johannes Birringer, Laurie Beth Clark, Jennifer Parker Starbuck and Paul Heritage look at a range of case studies including a collaboration in zero gravity between choreographers and Russian cosmonauts, Shakespeare plays produced on the wasteland border between two warring favelas in Rio, the political activist performances of Billionaires for Bush, and performances that take place by remote links across cities and continents. Addressing critical issues including the relationships between site, memory, longing, identity and creativity, this volume provides Performance Studies with a core text on notions of 'place' and will be useful to students, scholars and practitioners in Performance Studies, Visual Performance/ Theatre, Live Art, Directing, and Performance and Technology, amongst others |
