Under Observation
Premiered on Friday 14th November 2003 in The Waterside Theatre, Londonderry
Ursula Laeubli and Christine Munz who both originate from Switzerland created this delicate and moving performance together on the basis of Ursula's artistic concept.
"...the video projection is weaving, merging with the human body, the live performer and with the audience. Space and scale are shifting in the watcher's mind moved by giant images of the body like rolling landscapes and by shadows, reflections of the body, deep. Dark flowing..."

Premiered 24th April 2003 in The Playhouse, Derry
"...Let us take the body of a man..."
A unique fusion of text, performance and dance. The piece draws the watcher into the inner worlds of men of a "certain age".
Lonely men, angry men, frustrated men, vulnerable men. Men who aren't exactly losers but who aren't winning much either.

No Trace
No Trace
Premiered June 2003 in The Playhouse Derry
"No Trace" takes it's theme from water, representing the fluid nature of the essence of life and it's impact on it.
".... not only does water give to the human being and to all living nature the basis of existence in a living nature the basis of existence in a living body, but it pictures- as though in a great parable- higher qualities of man's development."
