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.
