Site specific performance is a term and therefore concept that is notoriously difficult to define. The details of said concept seem to change all the time; Pearson suggests that, while more traditional performance “is scheduled” and “the audience is fixed”, in site specific performance “there may be a transitory discontinuity in the social fabric” and “the audience may be incidental – those present in the same place at the same time – and obdurate”. (Pearson, 2010, p. 17)

In our performance we aim to take the concept of site specific performance one step further and include Pervasive Media; this is technology that aids in the betterment of understanding in a certain situation. With a starting theme of liberation and two possible sites in which to perform (Brayford Pond and the High Street), we hope to interact with a great number of people and impress enough to then go on to perform our piece to a much larger audience at the Lincoln Frequency Festival later in the year.
