Royal Holloway Student Project, Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance 2011

Join us for a week-long series of exchanges between art, performance and the environment

Explore connections between performance and the visual arts by joining a week of interactive workshops, creative sessions and talks with staff, students and practitioners from across Royal Holloway, University of London's Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences.

Discover more about how theatre is an exchange between people, art forms and environments that are creative, economic and political. Explore how experiences of exchange inform contemporary debates around curation, immigration, participation and art making. Investigate theatre as place of public endeavour.

Each of our events in the Tate Exchange programme is a Theatre of Exchange – a forum for sharing ideas and encounters. 

We kick off the week on Monday 13 February with an afternoon of conversation. Join us at 16.00 to hear what ‘exchange’ means to researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London who work across performance and curation, immigration and community engagement. The discussion will be led by Georgina Guy, Phil Crang, Lynette Goddard, Ruth Hemus and Helen Nicholson.

Programmed events:

  • Interdisciplinary Futurism / Performing Dada's Women: Join us in exploring two influential early twentieth century art movements from new perspectives
  • Environments / Encounters / Exchanges: Explore the exchanges and encounters at the heart of environmental art and discover walking as an art form
  • Memories, Migration and New Journeys: Discover and share fascinating stories about migration and memory, and explore hidden histories connecting London with indigenous communities across the world
  • Self Portraiture, Artists, Actors & The Art of the Copy: An afternoon of workshops exploring the nature of the self-portrait, the interplay between artists and actors and the status of the copy in art and history museums
  • Children's Workshops: Art, Theatre and Puppetry: Explore journeys through art and theatre and learn how to animate stories using Indonesian rod puppets
  • Embodied Exchanges / Exchanging Steps: Explore the idea of exchange as it takes place inside a dance studio, and discover how dance moves travel through history and across borders

These events are programmed by Royal Holloway, University of London, a Tate Exchange Associate.
