In this Bunker Talk\, Harry will reflect on his Placing Spaces project\, which uses 3D scanning\, recorded audio and location-based AR (Augmented Reality) to document participants’ place attachments and create locative AR experiences for audiences. \n\n\n\nHarry is an artist-researcher and Lecturer in Digital Theatre and Performance-Making at the University of Bristol. Harry’s research focuses on interdisciplinary explorations of live art and performance\, photography\, documentation\, digital art and new media through critical theory and artistic research. Recently Harry has been exploring intersections between immersive technologies and intimate performance\, including in site-specific AR and VR performance. He was Digital Thinker in Residence at the National Theatre of Scotland (2018-19) and Research Associate on the Walking Publics / Walking Arts project (2021-22) at the University of Glasgow.

SUMMARY:Between Then and Now: Performing Archives
DESCRIPTION: The Royal Exchange Theatre\, Manchester\, 23-24 June 2026Convened by the Performance Research Group\, Manchester School of Theatre\, Manchester Metropolitan University. \n\n\n\nFollowing on from our previous conference\, Scoring Performance/Performing Scores (2023)\, Between Then and Now: Performing Archives is interested in exploring how the archive can be a score for future development\, how it can be reactivated\, reanimated or re-enacted. This research also suggests a recall from the past to the present and we are particularly concerned\, in the current political climate\, with work that affords a consideration of temporality at a time when archives are being erased. \n\n\n\nThe conference will interrogate the role of the archive in shaping\, capturing\, echoing\, and contextualising performance\, and to bring this area of thinking and practice into productive dialogue.  \n\n\n\nPlease find a brief schedule here. We are expecting about 25 papers\, presentations\, performances and exhibitions over the two days. We have a small number of spaces available for academic and artistic colleagues and PhD students who would like to attend\, but because of the size of the room and catering\, these places are limited. If you would like to attend on either Tuesday or Wednesday\, please sign up at the form below.
