PRESENTATION: An Oral History of Performance Art in Wales At Placing (Oral) History, Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, University of Glasgow - 18 June 2007 Towards an Oral History of Performance and Live Art in the British Isles is a project that seeks to expand the documentation and archiving of Live Art and Performance in the British Isles from the 1960s onwards by developing and establishing an extensive oral history project over the next 5 years. An AHRC-funded network collaboration between the Department of Drama, University of Bristol, the British Library Sound Archive, University of the Arts, London, and the University of Glasgow, this first year functions as an exploratory period during which members of the steering group are hosting a series of working days throughout the British Isles in order to draw upon the expertise and skills of a range of regionally placed scholars, artists, curators and archivists working in the fields of Live Art and Performance. Sensitive to the politics of mapping and representing histories, we are keen to ensure that any oral history of performance and live art practice in the British Isles recognises local, national and cultural specificities, whether of practices, genealogies, debates or issues of access.

LECTURE: What's Welsh for Performance?
At Le Lieu, Québec, 12 September 2004 as part of: RHWNT - Québec-Wales Exchange (Rencontre Internationale d'Art Performance de Québec 2004) |
This talk introduces What’s Welsh for Performance? - Beth
yw ‘performance’ yn Gymraeg?, a research project devoted
to uncovering and archiving the history of performance art in Wales
between 1968 and 2008. The talk will consider the current ‘archive
fever’ in performance practice, scholarship and curatorship.
It will then focus on the two main strands of the Welsh performance
archive: an online searchable database (www.performance-wales.org)
and a publicly staged Oral History series. [
