Mapping Memories performance
Mapping Memories
A performance devised and performed by participants of the Memory of Place project for over 50s, in partnership with WEA
Saturday 2nd April
7pm
In the Foyle Arts Buidling, Lawrence Hill
(University of Ulster campus)
Admission is free
Local women aged over 50 will perform an original dance theatre piece devised by them and guided by Artistic Director of Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company, Steve Batts.
The group was formed from a 12-week project, led by Echo Echo and the Workers Educational Association as part of the WEA's Learning Age Project, focussed on the theme of memories of places and landscapes that have remained special throughout a lifetime.
The participants have each brought their own experiences and recollections to the creative production process, and weaved the movement images together into a beautiful, calm and meditative performance piece lasting about 30 minutes.
Local composer and musician Christopher Norby has developed an original music score to accompany the piece, which he will perform live on the 2nd April.
The performance will take place in the dance studio at Foyle Arts Building in Magee, University of Ulster with tea, coffee and food afterwards.
