<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Recent critical attention to space and geography (for example, by proponents of site-specific performance) has helped articulate the detail of ‘location’ in theatre and
performance. But there are numerous means of exploring space and place beyond those offered through conventional geography, as the Situationists International, among others, explored in past decades. Other significant spaces include mythic and psychic locations;
or zones that may or may not be fixed by geographical coordinates. This special issue investigates the performance of possible and actual worlds that contribute to the shaping of space and place.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">An alternative geography may be a vestige of history: for instance, assumptions made by early European geographers about the nature and location of southern lands were
shaped by myth and suppositions. Simply by being ‘not here,’ such locations take up spaces of otherness, some characteristics of which remain in the public imaginary, despite the precision of contemporary mapping tools. Multimedia, meanwhile, describes a differently
situated ‘geography of elsewhere.’ Doreen Massey has argued in <i>For Space</i> that<i>
</i>“[s]pace […] is about contemporaneity (rather than temporal convening), it is about openness (rather than inevitability) and it is also about relations, fractures, discontinuities, practices of engagement. And this intrinsic relationality of the spatial
is not just a matter of lines on a map; it is a cartography of power” (85).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">How might the qualities that Massey identifies be performed? How do non-geographic ‘spaces’ such as capital or marginalized subjectivities intersect with conventional
geography? This issue seeks interventions in the ways in which theatre’s metonymic performance of geography can expand our understanding of spatiality in performance, and of performance itself.
