'Framing the author's solo performance piece A Duet Without You (2013-2016), this fascinating academic artefact stages, conceptualises and comments on the cardinal principle of performance-making: collaboration. Both as an artist and academic, Chloe Dechery illuminates the space of absence belonging to invisible collaborators in performance-making and makes a powerful argument in favour of the fundamentally relational, intersubjective and composite nature of solo artworks. The significance of this recognition can never be greater than in the aftermath of a global lockdown! This book will be a reliable companion for students in any field of the creative arts and a source of inspiration for artists and scholars exploring modes of performance documentation.' -- Duska Radosavljevic, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama
