OverviewThis book investigates performance practice and practice-as-research methodology on the issues of authorship and collaborative labor in a world characterized by fragmentation, displacement, and virtual relationships. It addresses the following questions: What is a collaborative body? How can one sole performer enact and convey a collaborative practice? How can one body on stage carry out several voices at once? How can one maintain a sense of community while being alone in a room? Performing Collaboration in Solo Performance presents the full-length definitive version of the performance score from Chloé Déchery’s original performance piece entitled A Duet Without You, created between 2013 and 2015 in collaboration with a range of high-profile artists including Karen Christopher, Michael Pinchbeck, Deborah Pearson, Simone Kenyon, and Pedro Ins. A collection of essays by preeminent writers, artists, and academics in the field complement the original performance scores, ranging from performative responses to in-depth theoretical essays. Bridging practical experiment and theoretical examination, this innovative interdisciplinary volume will appeal to anyone working in between artistic practices and scholarly research.

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 Author InformationChloé Déchery is a performance-make, writer, pedagogue and Lecturer in theater and performance studies at the University of Paris 8 in Saint-Denis, France.
