Performance and Place (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)

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. Featuring contributors including Johannes Birringer, Laurie Beth Clark, Jennifer Parker Starbuck and Paul Heritage, this exciting volume provides Performance Studies with a core text addressing these profound issues, and emerges at the beginning of a long discourse on the subject within the field.
