Portable utopia as wearable nomadic ""structure"" More recently, combined art practices have emerged from theoretical discourses and technologies that focus on immediate presence and action (""archival and performative turn""). At the same time, new relationships with the place and the things echo the ""nomadic turn"" in the context of a broader ""utilitarian turn"" in art in a globalization (reuse, modification) that affects real life in poetic ways. The revised category of specialized or localized phenomenological intervention allows us to think of physical location now in terms of idiological intervention in the context of social, gendered, fluid identity along with things in a shifting condition (""spatial turn"", ""scenography""). The subjective assemblage of ""places in sequence"" from fragments form networks of single spatial narratives (drama, informational site). Effects on practices of design, re-use, re-make, modification, post-production, establish collaborative and open design, DIY and DWO tactics that change the ways and processes in terms of the distribution of artistic work from instructions, manuals, etc. The issues of inhabitation in emergency and exceptional conditions, in new climatic conditions and threats, are signified in new ways wearable - portable in our bodies in the context of movement and nomadology. At the same time, the scenic arts are interconnected cross-disciplinary with visual installations and bodily performances, as well as with the subject who dresses the roles with costumes and the entities or creatures of the stage (lighting, sound, things, etc.), towards the emergence of personas from the inner voices of other selves.
