| book description |

How is live art remembered? How does this remembering manifest itself in documents and in re-enactments of performance events? Is the live body more 'authentic' than the body represented in photographs, film, or video? How does live art relate to liveness, the real, documentary regimes, and beliefs about presence? How have live art events been narrated in art and performance theory, and how have these works and their readings altered our perceptions of the history of art, theatre, dance, and music? A multitude of questions face performers, critics and curators of live art and performance in the 21st century. Perform, Repeat, Record is a timely address to the resurgence of live art and a bold investigation into the 'now' and 'then' of its rendering. Adrian Heathfield and Amelia Jones combine their expertise in performance theory and art history to compile this unique anthology of essays, dialogues, documents and imagery. The scope and import of this collection make it an essential resource across the fields of art history, visual studies, theatre, dance and performance studies.
