This course provides the study of performance space, through the approach of its different modalities as regards the performer, the acts of performance, and the audience’s placement/participation within the performance. The polysemy of performance space will be examined in the form of theoretical lectures and the study of performance’s historical evolution in relation to space, together with practical workshops. Various kinds of performance spaces will be taken into consideration: the sacred space, the processional space, the urban/public space, the sympotic space, the museum space, the archaeological site, and the digital space.
