Dance, Place, and Poetics: Site-specific Performance as a Portal to Knowing

by Celeste Nazeli Snowber

Overview

This book explores the relationship between the body, ecology, place, and site-specific performance. The book is situated within arts-based research, particularly within embodied inquiry and poetic inquiry. It explores a theoretical foundation for integration of these areas, primarily to share the lived experiences, poetry and dance which have come out of decades of sharing site-specific performances.
