Abstract

In the third chapter in Part 2 (2.3) the extent to which contemporary performance has sited itself in mountains is examined, using the festival of Persepolis, in Shiraz in Iran, as a departing point to trace how recent site-related performance work has interpreted one localised mountainous landscape: Snowdonia. The works of Louise Ann Wilson, Kate Lawrence and David Shearing are treated as separate case studies and as exemplars of site-sensitive contemporary practice in mountains.
