Performance Research Volume 30 Issue 4

This issue proposes a focus on land/scapes as urgent and productive for discussing, analysing and making performance today. Land/scapes are considered as an active element and as a focal point for understanding emergent practices at the intersection of politics, ecology and performance. To think with/On Land/scapes is to challenge the hierarchies of a linear understanding and the validity of an external point of view. Being in and on land/scapes involves both challenging entrenched modes of domination and instituting modes of doing and thinking that recognize dependencies. By emphasizing dense interconnections, entanglements and interdependencies in land/scapes, this issue explores ways of knowing and studying in and with the body and in relation to shaping and being shaped by the land/scapes we inhabit.
