site-specific dance

Site-specific dance is a performance art where dancers create choreography tailored to a particular location, integrating the environment’s history, architecture, and ambiance. Instead of performing on a traditional stage, dancers work within or around a designated site, allowing the space itself to influence movement and meaning. This approach fosters a deep connection between the dance and its surroundings, encouraging performers and audiences to experience new perspectives and relationships with the space. It blurs the line between art, location, and audience, making each performance unique to its environment.
