Exemplifies the documentation and contextualization of site-based performance and practice-as-research. This book allows for comparisons of three very contemporary performance events and their making, extending the possibilities of published performance texts beyond 'traditional' plays.
This collection charts three projects by performers who generate autobiographical writing by walking through inspirational landscapes. Included in the book are the full texts of The Crab Walks and Crab Steps Aside by Phil Smith, Mourning Walk by Carl Lavery, and Tree by Deirdre Heddon, each accompanied by photographs and contextual essays. Taken together or separately, the work of all three artist-scholars raises important issues about memory, the ethics of autobiographical performance, ritual, life writing, and site-specific performance.
