Choreographers describe the process of creating and performing dance that exploits and interacts with locations and situations outside the normal stage and studio, such as water, construction sites, and public sidewalks. Each artist is interviewed, then talks about conceptual and artistic dimensions, but also practical matters such as dealing with authorities and property owners, arranging lighting, and ensuring safety. Among their perspectives are Meredith Monk as site pioneer 1969-71, Rabbi Pinchas as a Mexican wrestler, of grass and gravel, making the site-specific dance opera Requiem, the role of the audience in The Ivye Project, and choreography for uncontrollable contexts.
