This collection of essays elaborates a new perspective on performance that links ecology and art practice. From the play of landscape in Gertrude Stein's theatre and the mus/ecology of John Cage, to Robert Wilson's dramaturgy as an ecology. Other essays cover Meredith Monk, Maria Irene Fornes, Spalding Gray, Heiner Muller, world events and cultural forms of expression.

In Timelines: Writings and Conversations, Bonnie Marranca turns to far-ranging subjects that include the catastrophic imagination, landscape and writing, performance drawing, cultural history, as well as issues of emotion, beauty, and the spiritual in art. Her perspectives on performance, visual arts, media, and drama in the work of Joan Jonas, Caryl Churchill, Raimund Hoghe, Dick Hig­gins, and Meredith Monk highlight the artist in the world and ar­tistic process. Includes personal reflections on the loss of influential artists Carolee Schneemann, Sam Shepard, and Maria Irene Fornes.
