Falmouth University has secured funding for a new research project that will use technology to capture and archive performance practice.
The university in Cornwall will use the £850,000 of funding to explore new ways to widen access to performances and provide new income streams to support the creative industries across the Duchy.
GWITHA, from the Cornish word to guard, or to keep, will establish an open centre for immersive approaches to archival practice in the performance space, capturing and preserving performances that have previously been difficult or impossible to document because of their transient nature.
