Description

In Comes I: Performance, Memory and Landscape explores the relationship between performance, place, memory, and biography. This book reflects on performances past and present, drawing from various disciplines such as archaeology, folklore, and local history. Mike Pearson uses his personal connection to the landscape of eastern England as a starting point for his reflections on performance theory and practice. The book integrates intensely personal narrative with analytical reflection, juxtaposing anecdote with theoretical insight. By examining performances in their cultural and physical environment, Pearson offers new approaches to the study of performance. The book features a range of performances, from folk drama to contemporary site-specific work, which are seen in the context of their relationship to their environment.
