Sarah Angliss and Emma Kilbey

In this short performance, the breaths and gestures of people in the room seem to be echoed in changes to the everyday clutter around them. Lamps, cups and other objects also play back traces of those who are absent. The participants could choose to observe these events as they unfolded or influence them further by hooking themselves up to the set. How would this encounter feel to you? As a trace memory, an augmentation of your body or as something uncanny – a visitation of sorts?

Trace was devised and presented by Sarah Angliss (composer and roboticist) and Emma Kilbey (theatre maker) and was developed at the Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol.

The performance lasted 20-25 minutes and was repeated at intervals throughout the afternoon.

Presented as part of Digbeth Delights, an afternoon of avant-garde performances, workshops and talks exlporing brutalist composition, contemporary improvisation, punk protest art, and poetic robotics across Minerva Works that coincided with Supersonic Festival.
