PREVIEW

Produced by Croi Glan Integrated Dance and presented in the unique setting of IMMA’s Courtyard, In Place is a diptych of dance works, making up an hour long programme.

Choreographed by Croi Glan Co-Artistic Director Tara Brandel, In Place plays with the relationship between the fragility and durability of the soft human form, and the surfaces and spaces of the architecture in which the performers are situated.

In Place One performed by Tara is a solo made in response to the courtyard site and inspired by the works of De Chirico with their sharp contrasts of light and shade. As someone with dyslexia, Tara experiences her neurodiversity through a heightened sense of spatial awareness. In Place One will draw upon and embody this distinct experience and reflect on feelings of isolation and our place in the world.

In Place Two is an intimate duet for Croi Glan Co-Artistic Director and disabled dancer, Linda Fearon, and male dancer Leighton Morrison. The duet provides complementary insight and experience to In Place One, and through touch, balance and exquisite movement reflects on our relationship with others, exploring feelings of longing, connection and intimacy within the limitations of place.

Seen together these two related and contrasting works are an aural and visual feast for the senses offering insights into how our environment shapes our trust, attachments and closeness.

Lighting is by SJ Shiels, Music by Ray Harman and Costumes by Angharad Matthews.
