Staging Ground - infrastructures, performance, and bodies in movement

A multiplicity of dynamics are driving rapid infrastructural transitions in cities, transforming cultures of movement, both human and non-human. But these are all too often narrated at scales that surpass the embodied experiences of those that live them every day. To better understand the bodily and cultural implications of these transformations, we can learn from the performing arts. ‘Staging Ground’ assembles on-site investigations, critical reflections, and performative scores, developed through a creative research programme led by Theatrum Mundi. These strategies can be enacted anywhere, expanding the tools available for thinking, making, and inhabiting mobility infrastructures.
