Carbon
Carbon
Premiered 19th April 2000 in The Playhouse, Derry
"Carbon" is a tale of transformation. A story of moving on, leaving the past behind
The one-hour show tells a tale of a woman and her memories. She sits at her desk. She remembers the people and situations in her life. A humorous chorus of strange and shivering workers, equipped with basic elements of domestic furniture, do their job of playing out her memories and her imaginings. The distortions and absurdities grow as memory fades and the real and the remembered become difficult to separate

Pulse
Pulse
Premiered 14th April 1999 in The Rialto Theatre, Derry
"Pulse" is a beautiful and dynamic piece of dance composed by international dancers under the direction of Steve Batts
The six dancers weave ever more complex patterns as they enter and leave the space in solos, duets and group dances. Lifting, turning, falling, catching, they make intimate and transparent relationships with each other as they share a journey through the seventy-minute length of the piece
The music has a regular beat -"Fifty five beats per minute" the tempo of a resting heart.
