Programme
10.30 - 12pm: Meet the artists & observe the process12 - 4pm: You may encounter a live exhibition performed by dancers & movement artists
Mary Watts built her legacy hands-on, teaching her neighbours to model clay and turning the building of her chapel into a living village practice. Dancer, teacher and researcher Fritha Celia Fallon takes that same spirit as her starting point, stepping into the role of curator to ask what dance and performance can learn from an archive that's made, not just kept.
Her research brings together choreography, curatorial practice and performance-based methods to ask how heritage and archives are made and lived, not just stored, exploring collaboration, imagination and embodied knowledge along the way.
Over two open days, that crossover between theatre and museum curation plays out live. Drop in to meet Fritha and hear how the project is developing, then stay as the space opens up to the dancers and movement artists of Dance Diversion, working and performing within Mary's Studio itself. No two visits will look quite the same.
