The Body as Memory Research Project
Dear Friends and colleagues,
Para Active invite you to share in the results of their 10 day long research into the significant relationship between the Body and Memory. Our questions concern ourselves with the bodymemory that various training systems from various practioners i.e Stanislavski to Grotowski seek to unlock. We will be working with Fran Barbe (Theatre Training Initiative on Butoh) Dr. Giuliano Campo (British Grotowski Project on vibratory song and action) and Professor J. Rothwell based at the Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London.
We wish to investigate a dynamic interchange between body and memory that can be useful to an actors process. Where, if anywher are memories stored? Can we use the body movements to bring alive previously dormant memories and in so doing discover where they are held? Do different memories have different weights and produce different movement qualities? Do memories become more accessible when the spine is open and fluid due to the routes of the nervous system? What happens to the body when neurophysiological impulses are provoked?
This research has been led by Jonathan Grieve.
Chaired by Dr Dick McCaw the sharing will be held at Chisenhale Dance Space on Sat 28th April at 7.00.
Please RSVP to nwando@para-active.com
We look forward to seeing you there.
