Please come to the ATRiuM Reception, Room to be announced.

ALL WELCOME!
This presentation introduces What¹s Welsh for Performance? (Beth yw performance yn Gymraeg?), a major research project devoted to uncovering and archiving the history of performance art in Wales.
Performance art is now widely recognized as representing a vital part of the visual arts in this country, yet one currently searches in vain for any records or critical evaluations of its practices in accounts of Welsh art history.
The project is an attempt to address this neglect.
The presentation discusses some of the methodological implications of archiving performance work with reference to the first ten years of the art form after its initial appearance in Wales in 1968, before presenting the two main strands of the Welsh performance and a publicly staged Oral History series.
Dr Heike Roms is lecturer in Performance Studies in the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies, Aberystwyth University.
She has published on contemporary performance practice, particularly on work emanating from Wales, for publications such as Performance Research, Inter, Frakcija, Live Art Magazine, New Welsh Review, Planet and Cyfrwng.
She is project director of What's Welsh for Performance?, a major research project devoted to uncovering and archiving the history of performance art in Wales (www.performance-wales.org).
