Public Space, Enchantment and Resistance: An Experiential Study on EcoPoetry and VocalAesthesis in Natural Environments

Abstract

This paper presents three site-specific performance works that reflect processes of ongoing research related to theatricality and the exploration of performance spacing through the experience of enchantment. By setting weird creatures or paradoxical ‘‘off’’ situations in public space, the intention of the artist is to plant small acts of resistance through challenging the hard logic of materials, reversals, surprises, deviations and distortions of the given perspective.
