Abstract
The Marnie Tape is an exploration of memory that relies heavily on the senses. The process involves a multimedia approach—i.e. playwriting, slide photographs, installation, performance, olfactory triggers, and sound playback paired with live music in a theatrical scope. All mediums are utilized in synthesis with performance to explore the nature of memory. Specifically, an old home video on VHS titled “the Marnie tape” is the starting point, and the main narrative component, of the intensive exploration.
