PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT
What's Welsh for Performance? Beth yw 'performance'
yn Gymraeg?
An Oral History of Performance Art in Wales 1968-2008
by: Heike Roms
With: Shirley Cameron; Ivor Davies; Anthony Howell; John Chris
Jones; Timothy Emlyn Jones; Andrew Knight; Roland Miller.
For more than forty years artists have been creating performances,
happenings and other time-based art in Wales, yet their work remains
largely confined to half-remembered anecdotes, rumours and hearsay.
What's Welsh for Performance? tries to uncover Wales's hidden
history of performance in conversations with key artists who have
shaped this history since 1968. Their memories, accompanied by extensive
documentation, paint a vivid picture of the vibrancy and importance
of performance art in Wales and elsewhere.
This unique publication brings together the full transcripts from
season 1 of What's Welsh for Performance? Beth yw 'performance'
yn Gymraeg? - An "Oral History of Performance Art in Wales".
Richly illustrated with historic photographs and other performance
documentation throughout.
Published in March 2008 by trace: Samizdat Press, Cardiff.
200pp., In English with Welsh introduction.
