The History Dances project is being created by Fiona Wright and Becky Edmunds, two independent artists interested in generating small video works for use in live performance and also using live performance as a source of material for video edits to be placed as short films online.
 
Using video, writing and choreography the work in History Dances looks to the idea of body memory - touching on our perceptions of time and history and stories.

Inner worlds, the life of the imagination as physical and emotional.
 
Identity, belonging, transition, escape and the idea of fiction.
 
 Stories and myths of famous historical characters and events.
 
Personal histories; how reading makes us who we are.

Our understanding (even mis-understandings) and belief in events, characters, places.
