SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The book interrogates notions of distance, interval, time and space explorations in scenography and performance which are concerned to encompass the creative, historical, performing, interdisciplinary, writing, architectural, and senses of presence in space. Space becomes practice; scenography becomes performance; memory and biography as the written space, which becomes spectatorship as experiential space. The authors look at the sensory anomalies which are a part of performance and which emanate from visual presentations.
