Safety in Numbers / Mother Daughter | a 15 minute performance followed by a short Q&A.
“This performance is a belated love letter to my mother. She had mental health problems, and it was not until her funeral that positive memories of her came flooding back. We all carry prejudice; ageism is one prevalent form of discrimination experienced by young and old. Through the creation of live performances which address positive and negative aspects of ageing, I am currently exploring if and how performance art can stimulate intergenerational understanding and empathy. These performances stem from personal experience. An ‘armour’ of paper streamers made from newspaper number puzzles covers the dress I wear for this short performance.”
Annie Wright will be performing at 2pm on both Friday 10th and Saturday 11th June.
Part of The Coming Of Age exhibition curated by Bella Kerr & Amanda Roderick for Fringe Arts Bath.
