To mark their 10th anniversary, Croí Glan have invited back their two favourite and most performed choreographers, David Bolger (On the Wall, 2009) and Jess Curtis (Asymmetrical Tendencies, 2007) to create a dazzling new double bill.
Fancy Dress
David Bolger
What is a fancy dress? Is it something we wear at parties? Something we adorn to disguise our true selves?
A walking stick becomes a magic wand. It makes us dance. Dance as if no one is watching.
In this short and snappy trio, we invite you to enjoy some funky moves, a kicking soundtrack and a few fancy dress tips.
Remote
Jess Curtis
Mobilised or frozen... alone at home in front of our screens, do we transcend or are we trapped in our bodies?
Using a remote process with electronic media and social networking, Jess Curtis applies his familiar post-modern choreographic style to this piece, influenced by a Berlin/San Francisco aesthetic.
With this duet, Jess investigates the ups and downs of our bodies within our evolving digital culture.
Does digital and social media enhance our democratic mobility or enforce immobilisation?
