“PIECES OF ELSEWHERE”
Counterbalance Integrated Dance Ensemble and Fluxusdance
Tickets: €5
The Counterbalance programme culminates with this promenade performance of 'Pieces of Elsewehere'.
‘Pieces of Elsewhere’ is a site specific dance performance event created and performed by the artists of Counterbalance Integrated Dance Ensemble and produced by Fluxusdance.
Eight extraordinary performers
Film projections
Sound Instillations
Duration: approximately 60 minutes
The work explores the performer’s individual and collective landscapes of imagination and desire. These are set against the life circumstances in which we experience our sense of self. The choreography and concept for ‘Pieces of Elsewhere’ has been developed by the dancers, guided by Cathy O’ Kennedy.
The dance takes its inspiration and title from the music of the same name by contemporary Irish composer Ian Wilson. His music is used throughout the piece.
Other sound elements include the poetry of Pat Ingolsby.
Research and survey materials on attitudes to disability are part of an elective element for audience members and are part of the shared experience with the performers who have used the materials in their creative processes.
Films and projections for ‘Pieces of Elsewhere’ have been created by London based film maker and dancer Janna Reidel in collaboration with the choreographer and the performers.
This project follows on from The Divine Normal, a residency and performance programme we hosted with Fluxusdance in 2007.
