Performing the Archive
The Performing the Archive project is funded by the Learning and Teaching Development Fund. The project combines the skills of performers and archivists to create new pedagogical tools and models for learning across all colleges. It addresses issues of accessibility, ‘archival anxiety’ and multiperspectivity in collection-based learning.
Through a series of workshops with professional acting coaches, lecturers as well as PGR and PGT students we will (A) explore performance-based strategies of dealing with archival texts and objects; (B) these strategies will be tested in classroom settings across a number of sample classes from Arts, Law, Social Sciences and Medical Humanities; and (C) they will be documented and further disseminated through an online teaching resource.
