Sites of Transformation: Applied and Socially Engaged Performance in Rural Landscapes

NEW BOOK - PUBLISHED BY BLOOMSBURY METHUEN, 24 FEB 2022

In Sites of Transformation practitioner and researcher Louise Ann Wilson examines the expanding field of socially engaged scenography and the development of scenography as a distinctive type of applied art and performance practice that seeks tangible, therapeutic, and transformative real-world outcomes.

Using case-studies drawn from the body of site-specific walking-performances she has created in the UK over the last decade, Wilson demonstrates how she uses scenography to emplace challenging, marginalizing or ‘missing’ life-events into rural landscapes – creating a site of transformation – in which participants can reflect-upon, re-image, re-imagine their relationship to their circumstances.
