Banham Theatre, University of Leeds
Ernest Remains is an augmented reality installation for one person at a time. A work about the relations between bodies, technologies and spaces: about the tools that help us find (and lose) our way, and about bodies and the traces they leave behind.
The installation is part of a practice-led PhD research investigation into audience experiences of augmented and mixed reality in performance design. There will be a post-show discussion about your experience. The total time for the experience of the installation and the post-show discussion will be approximately one hour. Participation in this research project is entirely voluntary.

Site specific performance, 2017.
Tower invites you to gaze a little longer at the private spaces on the edges of the public city streets we pass through everyday. In this site-specific performance in Elephant & Castle, a shifting urban landscape provides the backdrop to solitary moments and private scenes staged within the windows of a high-rise building. The audience wear headphones that transport them into the rooms of the performance through a binaural soundscape, while peering into these spaces from a distance with binoculars, choosing where to look and what to listen to.
Tower is a show about the everyday lives lived within the architecture of the city and the memories housed within its walls.
Conceived and designed by Lucy Thornett
Performed by Mary Benn and Amira Riyama
Lighting consultant - Amelia Lever-Davidson
The research and development stage of this project was supported by London College of Communication research funding.
This event was part of the LCC Space and Place Research Hub residency at Elephant & Castle shopping centre.
Tower has also been exhibited and screened as a video work, with videography by Justin Batchelor.
