Site relevant performance practice

Conversation with a site and its collective memory




My research and approach to what I call site relevant performance practice bases on the understanding that spaces, architecture, and buildings can function as open and continually evolving texts: from this perspective, space becomes a narrative body, where whose narratives are directly linked to the social, personal, and collective actions that traverse it, as well as the memory that inhabits it. 
This practice investigates the interplay between space, architecture, 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 and the creation process is in dialogue with these social textures.
The practice remains rooted in context, yet open to reinterpretation and transformation according to the specific conditions of each location.
