The Centre for Performance and Creative Exchange, University of Roehampton presents: "Heaps of Memories" - A lecture by Karmenlara Ely, Artistic Director of Acting, Østfold University College/Norwegian Theater Academy "I want to think about those memories which collect themselves, which "stick together" and cluster to us through the mess of human living. These are memories not deliberately managed in libraries or hard drives or books; this is an ephemeral archive of "too much" - which causes anxiety, excitement and shame. A remainder. Like our garbage, it is the very thing which describes us and yet we cast it away as refuse. The "sticky" archive is proof that something happened. It lives around us, through us, and collects in unwanted or forgotten scenes. It is the closet we cannot face to clean, a path through the woods we are haunted by but never walk again, a barren mountain side of unchanging wind. This presentation, derived from the Norwegian Theater Academy's three year, international artistic research project Infinite Record, Archive Memory and Performance, thinks through alternative notions of the archive, and the notion of archive for rather than archive of. We begin by tying together the sensations of memory located in landscape, in "heaps" and in the performances of elders. New works in progress by artists such as Wen Hui of Living Dance, Beijing and Spiderwoman Theater will be considered." Wednesday 29th May, 6.30pm-8.00pm University of Roehampton, Studio 5 Free event.
