And on to theme two... We're now going to be looking at networks, internationalism and student politics, and are beginning by holding a small reunion in Aberystwyth next Saturday. We have invited a few former students who were involved in the Arts Festival in 1968 and are looking forward to hearing their memories of the events.Friday 15 January 2010
Finishing theme one and moving on...
The first theme of the project, performance and pedagogy, is nearly complete (well, the collection part at least). Beck is putting the final touches to the database having processed the huge amount of material we collected from John Gingell's archive - over 1800 images! Hopefully, we'll update the online database this month, and this material will be available on the website. It includes many performances that we didn't know about before, along with photos and information about all manner of work carried out by John Gingell with his students and the ZOO group during the late 1960s and early 1970s. We're indebted to John's family for giving us access to the archive, and for their help in piecing things together. Thank you!

If anyone else has any information about, or attended, the festival, please get in touch with Beck and Heike at mail@performance-wales.org
