Invited speaker at an event to mark the inauguration
Professor David Amigoni, English and Research Institute for Humanities, was an invited speaker at an event to mark the inauguration of the Reminiscence Theatre Archive at the University of Greenwich.
Representing the NDA-funded Ages and Stages research project, which draws on the Victoria Theatre Archive in the course of its research into the representation of, and reminiscence about, ageing in the Potteries, Professor Amigoni spoke about the opportunities for using theatre archives, and the challenge of sustaining them through funding.
Reminiscence Theatre was the pioneering project of Pam Schweitzer, the founding artistic director of Age Exchange Theatre based in South London, and keynote speaker at the event. There are many parallels between the artistic work of the Victoria/New Vic Theatre and Age Exchange in their documentary theatre practices.
