'This article explores how Covid-19 has produced new, highly constricted sites for performance, giving rise to a new vocabulary for site-specific screendance. It begins with online screendance collaborations created in response to the constrictions of Covid-19 lockdowns in Melbourne. It then describes how external and internal constraints impacted on the author’s own site-specific, practice-led research project, with reference to Rudolf Laban’s movement analysis. It draws on the Japanese space-time concept ma (間) to examine the importance of interval and pause when developing site-specific screendance works while restricted to sites at home, including the couch, the shower, the bed and the car.'
