Dr Louise Ritchie is a theatre-maker and Lecturer at Aberystwyth University whose work spans over two decades of site-specific and movement-based practice. Her work explores how performance can animate public space and build connections between people, place, and history – transforming everyday streets into sites of encounter and shared experience.
Her recent work centres on women’s visibility, voice, and collective action through Er Mwyn Dyn | For Crying Out Loud, a participatory project that reimagines the historic figure of the town crier as a contemporary act of civic love and public celebration.
In this talk, Louise will explore what it means to “cry out” in a time shaped by digital anonymity and social fragmentation. She asks who gets to take up space and be heard; and, how gathering in the streets, and lifting our voices in love and celebration might lead us back towards one another.
Join us on the 28th February to find out more in Louise’ talk.
