Abstract: This essay presents a (re)reading of Basil Bunting’s 1965 poem, Briggflatts, based upon the authors’ experience of making Landscape Performance in Northumberland, England. The (re)reading of Briggflatts explores how the performative expression of the Northumberland landscape in the poem resonates with cultural geography’s ‘non-representational theory’. In an experience-based exploration of non-representational theories of landscape it examines how Briggflatts, as well as the authors’ performance work, uses the human body as a mechanism through which place is understood. The authors go on to consider how performance creates landscape within and outside of the geographical ‘site’ itself.
