Aims, policies, purpose/impetus for project:
Greenroom boasts a formidable heritage. Since 1983 we have showcased thousands of innovative performances, being the first to bring a range of international work, lesbian/gay performance, alternative comedy & performance poetry to Manchester. This project will conserve our oral history before it is lost, and broaden our archive making it available via an interactive website and other accessible media. We will populate and promote the resource via a recollections campaign that will be documented by specially trained volunteers, and research audiences by curating a participatory exhibition and showcase our heritage on the streets with a performance tour around Manchester city centre.
