Site relevant performance practice
Working in conversation with a site and its collective memory
My research and approach to what I call site relevant performance practice is grounded in the semiotic understanding that spaces, architecture, and buildings function as open, polysemous, and continually evolving texts. From this perspective, space is conceived as a narrative body intricately linked to the social, personal, and collective actions that traverse it.
This practice investigates the interplay between spatiality, history, and memory in relation to the embodied presence of performers and audiences, drawing from the archives of each specific location.
Each site embodies distinct social dynamics shaped by its inhabitants and visitors. By engaging with these social textures, the performance becomes a dialogic exchange between environment, bodies, and lived experience. This methodology emphasises adaptability, allowing the work to respond to diverse sites while maintaining conceptual coherence. The practice remains rooted in context, yet open to reinterpretation and transformation according to the specific conditions of each location.
