Site-Specific Dance in a Corporate Landscape

Abstract: Site-specific performance relies on the terms space and place as markers for discussing a performance's engagement with a site. However, practitioners and researchers are often disgruntled by the limitations such terms impose upon site-specific performance – as was Melanie Kloetzel, in the creation of The Sanitastics, a site-specific dance film created in the Calgary Walkway System. In this article, Kloetzel examines how theorists have struggled with space and place in the last four decades and how bringing in… Show more

“…In particular, artistic research related to site-specific events and performances has formed the basis for embodied considerations of how we conceive of place and space. For example, Gore (2010) and Kloetzel (2010) have indicated how this kind of explorative practice might potentially succeed in ‘unfixing’ places. Kloetzel further argues that the dancer from a practice-based perspective can trigger shifts in the limitations of the terminology of space and place, for example by testing how site-specific research can be used to actively invoke the connoted freedom related to the concept of space (2010: 137).…”

“…4 Dialogic accounts of the relationship between performance and place highlight the extent to which site-specific performance might enable theatrical material (performers, texts, scenographies, and so on) to enter into productive 'dialogue' with place -often places that theatre has commonly elided (Babb, 2008;Bennett, 2008;Somdahl-Sands, 2008;Stephenson, 2010). In palimpsestic or spectral accounts, site-specific performance negotiates an environment's past use (Hunter, 2005;Kaye, 2000;Kloetzel, 2010;Lavery, 2005;McEvoy, 2006;Pearson and Shanks, 2001;Turner, 2004). This results in what Cathy Turner, drawing on Mike Pearson, calls 'the rewriting of space through a new occupation of site in tension with what precedes it' (2004, p.374).…”

“…The works engage a range of groups in participation, including between migrants and theatre audiences, concert dance audiences and derelict spaces, and pieces that explore borders with international audiences at the Migration Museum for example or groups of older and younger artists from international backgrounds. In the field of dance, there has also been significant study of site-specific dance and audience interaction by Hunter (2015) and Kloetzel (2015Kloetzel ( , 2019 in Choreographic Practices, for example. This takes into account debates concerning dance and borders.…”
