The publication Memory in the Present Tense documents Rosemary Butcher's archive project for the festival Tanz im August 2015 at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin and is a contribution to the sustenance and dispersal of Rosemary Butcher’s ‚traces and memories‘. It contains photographs of the exhibition and its artefacts, a conversation with the curator and dance scholar Sigrid Gareis about Butcher’s body of work, her career and the Berlin retrospective and two transcriptions of talks that took place during the festival: one with the choreographer and dance scholar Susan Leigh Foster on Butcher’s recent pieces “The Test Pieces”and “Secrets of the Open Sea”, the exhibition for Berlin and her work as a teacher, and a talk with Lucinda Childs and Virve Sutinen about the Judson Church movement, Child’s and Butcher’s view of it, how it influenced their works and their recent archive projects.
