On Site: Methods for Site-Specific Performance Creation is a
practical book for artists and students at all levels who create or
are learning to create making sited dance works. Author Stephan
Koplowitz covers specific, hands-on strategies for an array of
issues to consider before, during, and after embarking upon a
project, including site selection, procuring permits, designing the
audience experience, researching and exploring a site for
inspiration and content, differences in urban and natural
environments, definitions of key production roles, building
effective collaborations with artists, and techniques to generate
site-inspired production elements such as sound/music, costumes,
lighting, and media. He also offers helpful chapters on project
budgeting, contract negotiation, fundraising, marketing,
documentation, and assessment. Based on the author's career
spanning over 30 years of site-specific creation, the book also
includes the voices of over 24 other artists, producers, and
writers who share their perspectives and experiences on the many
topics covered. A guide designed to make site work practical,
intentional, and attainable, On Site will become a well-worn
reference for anyone interested in the creative process and
discovering the power of site-specific works.
