Open Call to interdisciplinary artists seeking digital performance responses to the themes of ruins/bodies for symposium
Symposium date: 2nd of July 2021
Venue: Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin 8, Ireland
RUINS|BODIES presents and explores the possibilities and limitations of self-representation in performance making by sharing a digital work, artists’ responses, the launch of a publication and a round table discussion. We do so whilst witnessing and observing the constant shifts in the physical, social and cultural urban landscape we live in.
In the practice of Outlandish Theatre we acknowledge that our Bodies are affected by the experiences of intersectional landscapes. We theorise and imagine that our bodies become extensions of the landscape and the landscapes are extensions of our bodies. With the intensification of global enterprises and neo-liberal processes transforming our city’s public and private spaces rapidly, as experienced in Dublin 8, the delicate balance between the human and physical city bodies is affected.
