Becoming Tallaght

Becoming Tallaght Performance Arts Festival 2025

16:30—17:00, Friday, 26 SeptemberDuration: 30 minutesLocation: St.Mary's PrioryThe performance explores the ways that sacred, disability and transgender embodiment(s) are all structured by reference to notions of wholeness, perfection and cure. The social order dreams of a cure for both disabled bodies and trans bodies. Their existence challenges the notions of completeness and transcends bodily possibilities.The performance will take place at the bulán stones in St.Mary’s Priory Garden. Bulán stones are said to be where saintly bodies have touched or rested on. The disembodiment of a sacred body on their journey to sainthood offers completeness, either through reunion of parts into a whole or through the assertion of a part to become whole. The saintly body is produced by and shared among a community.The performance challenges the fixed senses of community, instead creating asynchronous communities through ripples, touches and interflows. It pivots on the transference of touch; we are in community with others we might never meet.  About Tara CarrollTara Carroll is an artist with a social practice which takes the form of performance, installation &amp; creative social spaces. Their practice rests upon the perception of the body, impacted by socio-political narratives, and its placement in society. During difficult times of embodied conflictions as a queer non-binary disabled person, their community supports them in creating new pathways of care. Exploring ways in which we seek solace and autonomy, Tara uses their work as a site to create communities and collaborations to advocate for people to access art.Projects and exhibitions include: ‘Art as Pilgrimage’ [2022-25]; ‘84 Steps to Solace’ Planta Alta, Madrid; ‘(Dis)Comfort’, Planta Baja, Madrid [2023]; ‘Seeking Solace’, Temple bar Gallery + Studios[2024]; ‘Just There’, TBG+S [2024], Recent awards include: Arts Council’s Arts Participation Bursary [2023-24] &amp; Agility Award [2022]; Creative Ireland Bursary [2023]; Create AIC R&amp;D Award [2022]; and Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Project Studio Award [2024].
