ABSTRACT
“The Size of All That’s Missing” is a poetic evocation of some of performances’ more poignant missing years and the sometimes legible holes they have left behind. It considers the shards and scraps of past performance traditions, now long gone but not wholly erased, and the legacy these missing traditions might still suggest. The historiographic challenge is to turn the eye towards the missing as well as that which remains. This chapter is derived from a larger book project, currently underway, of the same title.
