Abstract

Siteworks is a research program auspiced by the Bundanon Trust, centred in an Australian bush location three hours drive south of Sydney. The first in 2009 brought fluvial geo-morphologists onsite for several months prior to an event that brought together other earth scientists with local, national and international artists, professional performers and a site-based artist and director. During each of the two days entitled Ten Trenches, presentations from all participants, was followed by a series of performances. 

In the following years this pattern was adopted for Siteworks, looking above the ground as well as beneath it.
