Abstract: The text presents the method developed by the author, called performing landscape, and discusses it in the context of the expanded field in performing arts. If we consider ourselves as earthlings, citizens of the planet earth, the question of meaningful performance practices can be approached inclusively. As citizens we are in relation to a city or society, as a site, too; as earthlings we are related to all beings living here, and to the earth. The essay takes as a starting point Elisabeth Grosz’s study Chaos, Territory, Art (2008), in which she develops new ways of addressing and thinking about the arts and the forces they enact and transform. She suggests that arts frame or compose chaos so that sensation can proliferate; they transform materials of the past into resources of the future.
