ABSTRACT

“Why is that picnic table upside down?” I wonder irritably, as I turn the corner of the building. We are following the next group of students to the performance space that they have chosen for their scene. My students, who come from a variety of faculties across campus, are exploring site-specific theatre: each group has chosen a location and created a scene inspired by the space. The parking lot was transformed into a stage for one scene; another group used a cross walk, another chose a tree on the hill outside our classroom.
