This collection charts three projects by performance-makers who
generate autobiographical writing by taking walks. It includes
performance texts and photographs, as well as essays by the artists
that discuss processes of development, writing and performance.The
Crab Walks and Crab Steps Aside are performances made by Phil Smith
based on an initial exploratory walking of an area of South Devon
where he was taken for childhood holidays and then on to Munich,
Herm and San Gimignano. Both shows were accompanied by the
distribution of maps seeking to provoke the audience to make their
own exploratory walks. Mourning Walk is a performance that relates
to a walk Carl Lavery made to mark the anniversary of his father's
death. Lavery shows how a secret can be both shared and hidden
through the act of communication as he explores "an ethics of
autobiographical performance". In Tree, the result of a
multi-disciplinary collaborative process, Dee Heddon occupies a
single square foot of soil, and discovers that by standing
stationary and looking closely she can travel across continents and
centuries, making unexpected connections through an extroverted
autobiographical practice.The work of all three artists, taken
together and separately, raises important issues about memory,
ritual, life writing, textuality, subjectivity, and site in
performance.
