Abstract [en]

This essay examines the dynamic interplay between site and performative practices, investigating how spatial transformations are inscribed in the bodies of performers and influence their responses. By engaging with artists from diverse disciplines and geographical backgrounds, this research adopts a practice-based approach to explore the relationship between site, body, and stage. Through the creation of movement scores, improvisation, and devising, participants uncover the performative potential of various sites, contributing to the development of spatial dramaturgy. This project employs a psychogeographical framework, emphasizing the role of the environment in shaping emotional, behavioral, and cognitive processes. Central to this approach is the concept of the dérive, or “drifting,” as theorized by Guy Debord (1958), which facilitates an experimental, immersive engagement with space. By integrating psychogeographic principles into performance-making, this research offers new perspectives on embodiment, site-specific dramaturgy, and the creative processes that emerge from the convergence of body and space.
