This groundbreaking book makes a forceful argument for the significance of 'performance fieldwork' as a vital and innovative approach to interdisciplinary collaboration. By delving into the histories and practices of field research, it demonstrates how creative methods and artistic processes can enrich our understanding of complex landscapes and environments. Through a series of captivating case studies, the book showcases innovative research conducted in various fields, including ecology, clubbing, heritage, mobility, and deep time, all taking place in the United Kingdom between 2009 and 2021. These accessible and engaging field notes not only connect to international and intercultural contexts but also emphasize alternative experiences and perspectives. Collectively, they offer a comprehensive 'toolbox of playful and exploratory strategies' for working with diverse urban and rural sites, ranging from a river to a museum, a nightclub to a motorway, and even a cave. This timely methodology showcases how performance unfolds continuously 'in the field,' transcending disciplinary boundaries and offering valuable insights into the complexities of our world. By embracing performance fieldwork, researchers and practitioners can unlock new avenues for collaboration, knowledge creation, and meaningful engagement with the environment and society.
