site-specific performance

Site-specific performance refers to artistic presentations, such as theater, dance, or installations, that are created and designed for a unique location, rather than a traditional performance venue like a theater. Artists consider the specific characteristics of the site—its history, architecture, and environment—to create a work that interacts with and responds to its surroundings. This approach can enhance the audience's experience by making the performance not just a show, but a part of the location itself, often inviting participants to engage with the space in new and meaningful ways.
