- Summary:
-
- What are the Histories and Practices of Live Art?
- How do these Histories and Practices Interconnect, Diverge, Infuence and Resurface?
- Introducing both the history and the major themes in live art, leading academics and practitioners engage with a number of key practices used in performance art. As they explore each different practice through a series of critical frameworks such as time, the body, politics and place, the authors ask how these processes can be contextualized and understood. Recognizing that there is no single 'history' of live art, nor indeed a singular approach to the field, this book embraces the diverse nature of the practices, critiques, opinions and debates that have shaped live art.
