Time Lapse (MA dissertation)
​
Sam leads the audience in an intimate promenade performance that explores personal items.
​
Sam has been developing this work-in-progress performance as a practice-led investigation into objects owned by her family, and has been questioning what we keep and why? Are we what we keep and are these items stand-ins for certain people?

Generation We
