Audio recording of the post show panel discussion for The Reanimating project performance

In 2019-2020 the ESRC funded 'Reanimating data: experiments with people, places and archives'. Part of the project involved staging a series of reanimations using data from interviews with young women from Manchester, conducted thirty years previously as part of the Women, Risk and AIDS Project (WRAP 1988-1990). Each reanimation involved a collaboration between young women, educators and researchers and used creative methods to explore the WRAP data and bring it to life in new ways. This item is the audio recording of a post show discussion after the second live performance of The Reanimating Project, by the Women's Theatre Society at the University of Manchester. The performance was devised by a group of students using three interviews from the Women, Risk and AIDS Project (MIS09, MAG50, MAN99) as part of the Reanimating data project. The post show discussion is with directors Danielle Carbon-Wilson and Elena Brearly, the cast, Ester McGeeney and Niamh Moore from the Reanimating data project. The panel discuss how the performance was devised and reflects on the process of the cast working together as a group.
