Performance, Transport and Mobility Reviews

The prose is fresh and vivid, inviting the reader to imagine travelling alongside the artists. ... The book makes a convincing case for mobility as an important way of understanding contemporary performance and, more importantly, for performance as a way of understanding how we move and are moved through the world. (Kyle Gillette, Contemporary Theatre Review, Vol. 28 (2), June, 2018)
