Building on her existing practice, Sworn will use the Fellowship to continue her investigations into forms of early theatre, the ways in which travelling performers took on multiple identities and their relationship to audiences. She will explorethe significance of the spaces and contexts of travelling entertainments and the
evolution of these ideas through the ways in which that have become manifested in contemporary culture via the development of social media and mobile screens.
Sworn drew on the breadth of expertise and knowledge at the University of Leeds to inform her research, working with its Centre for Audio Visual Experimentation (CAVE) and National Centre for Innovative Robotic Systems, among others.
During the Fellowship, ARC worked with Sworn to develop her research interests, brokering conversations with academics and artists working in related fields in Leeds, around the UK and internationally. As a result of these conversations, ARC developed a program of events, hosted at the Tetley to support + enrich Sworn’s work, offering audiences access to process of her creative research / thinking through a range of events including talks, screenings and performance produced in collaboration with ARC, culminating with a symposium hosted in collaboration with the University.
