in this place.. is a new multidisciplinary project by choreographer Heather Maloney. The composition is driven from the method of loci or memory palace, which relies on memorized spatial relationships to establish, order and recollect memorial content. The conceptual narrative is woven from the reassembly of first memories as artifacts lost and found in the body through space. In constructing a house for the memories to live the performers build a surrealist associative spatial language that speaks of how through our bodies we remember to remember.

Constructed through a simple series of vignettes the performers build an independent lens. The audience is taken on a journey, through the viscera of the act of memory. Bringing the viewer to the statement of how the body is an accumulation of memories that are woven delicately in a spatial randomness that is an innately human surrealist map of one’s life.

In this place speaks to the diversity and inherent independent language of each individual. How we build our lives around artifacts of memory that is supplied to us in a purely creative random spatial action, an associative recollection of our senses. Though non-linear physical theatre the work opens a window into the extraordinary action of memory staged in the body.
