Like Yesterday: Movement, Memory, and Wellbeing
Like Yesterday: Movement, Memory, and Wellbeing is a practice-led research project that explores the intricate tapestry of memory, movement, and personal narrative.
Its lead researchers (James Hewison and Dr Dorothy Tse) are both based at Edge Hill University, UK and the project’s participants will include members of the University of the Third Age (U3A), Aughton and Ormskirk, Lancs.
The project draws on Hewison’s research profile and professional expertise in choreography and autobiographical performance, and Tse’s work in neuroscience, memory, and ageing.
Beginning with exploratory workshops and storytelling exercises, earlier this summer, Like Yesterday explores and develops authentic movement responses to the participants’ own lived experiences and memories of movement, and of being moved.
The afternoon showcase will feature a film of the participants’ choreographic solos which have been recorded against a soundtrack that utilises their spoken narration of their movement memories.
This will be followed by a talk and Q&A with James and Dorothy.
