Momento Mea 1
The Foyer Factor was founded in February 2004 to involve Swindon Foyer residents in creating exciting performances while acquiring skills in movement, voice, mime, improvisation and characterisation. In 2004, residents volunteered with English Heritage in the excavation of the Roman villa Groundwell Ridge. Foyer Factor worked with English Heritage, who fund drama workshops, to create Momento Mea, a drama on the themes of remembrance and preservation, which was performed at a Campaign for Learning conference at the Town Hall Studios in Swindon.
