Performance in Wales archive

The What's Welsh for performance? archive is built around two main strands:

1. a comprehensive searchable database of performance events in Wales

2. and a series of oral history interviews with key artists who have shaped the history of performance art in Wales since the 1960s

Visit 40 events in 40 years for a selection of important performance events from the archive.

The archive is a growing resource – if you have any information on performance in Wales that could be of use to the project, please get in touch!
Whether you are an artist who has made performance work in Wales, or an audience member who once witnessed a performance (voluntarily or involuntarily!), we would be pleased to hear from you.

Any material will be of interest - from actual pieces of documentation to vague memories of events caught out of the corner of one's eye. The intention is not to create a new physical collection, but a 'virtual' index that allows users to locate where documentary material on performance art in Wales is currently held.

CALL: Fluxus in Aberystwyth 1968

We are looking for Aberystwyth residents and students of 1968 who have memories of a 3 day arts event that took place at the Parish Hall in November of that year. It was called Miss Rainbow Day, Brian Lane and the First Dream Machine and was organised by the Guild of Students (including John Osborne, Bob Marsland, Steve Mills) as part of the annual Aberystwyth Arts Festival.
