Lynnette Moran’s Live Collision regroups, reconsiders and asks us to buckle up for a smörgåsbord of live art practice. A few hand picks from the brimming selection include, Object Permanence by Kat Hawkins which is a solo dance which takes us intimately into the relationship between the disabled body and assistive devices, revealing a world of joy, companionship and sensuality. Brokentalkers return with The Examination, exploring mental health and human rights in the prison system. Irish Trinidadian artist Maïa Nunes presents Solas, integrating original sound design and musical composition, with live instrumentation and vocal improvisation. While artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill bring The Making of Pinocchio, a response to Ivor’s gender transition. In this theatrical and cinematic spectacular, their tender and complex autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the little lying puppet who wants to be a ‘real boy’.
House of Origin (lead photo) is a new video project, recorded interviews with some of the icons of Ballroom culture, voicenotes responses submitted by our queer Black community here in Ireland and written research gathered and written for this. It presents new possibilities for Black queer community building and gender euphoria in an Irish context.
