Description: Caer Llan is a research resouce and document about the performance of place involving practioners in an open-ended experimental case study that sought to suggest and identify strategies and themes specific to the performance of place.
Notes: Title from opening screen.

Caer Llan is a country house, now a field studies and residential center, on the border of Wales and England. Working with theater practitioners, the trilogy comprised three annual intensive performance projects of 4-5 days each which sought to experiment with ‘platial’ performance. Minor and major performance pieces were devised, with invited audiences at two of the three events. The research asked to what extent participants articulated ‘place’ through this three-year performance project and, synchronically, (re)defined this ‘place’ for themselves in the process.
