About Fields of Performance: a quiet encounter with a planet called earth

Fields of Performance is a dynamic collection of experimental and interdisciplinary works, ranging from intimate solos to collaborative pieces presented in studio theatre settings and in public spaces around Central Scotland.

This is the final year of the Contemporary Performance Practice programme, and this work honours the legacy of past and present students, their expansive range works and the diverse contexts they continue to engage with.

Experience the freshness and originality of a new wave of artists, ready to redefine the boundaries of performance.

a quiet encounter with a planet called earth
by Laurie Elliott

I come here to listen, to nestle in the curve of the roots… (Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer)

A 1-1 performance encounter… a quiet moment to tune in to the little things. Audience members will meet the artist at a designated spot in Queen’s Park, Glasgow. With the artist, they will share a gentle encounter with a living breathing Earth…

This performance is not weather dependent. Let’s meet the Earth on its terms… if rain is forecast, please bring waterproof clothing to keep yourself dry(ish)!
