Abstract

Performance happens in space and time and because of this space is a central theme or question in performance (Levan, 2005, p. 120).

And whether the space of the performance is a theatre, a street, a hallway, a train platform or an online ‘platform’, when we write for performance we do so in and through considerations of space.
