Abstract

This chapter explores the concepts of mobility, transformation and re-location in the creation, production and experiencing of site-specific dance performance. Processes and practices of mobility are explored here through a consideration of the triadic relationship between performer, audience and site encountered within the creation of my site-specific dance work The Library Dances (2006). Through a discussion of a creative process which explored the potential for the site-specific event to challenge an individual’s sense of located-ness, the chapter explores how the mobile, experiential interplay between performer, audience and site problematised subjective notions of ‘located-ness’, fixity and ‘place identity’.
