a work-in-process performance sharing by Helga Deasy

Helga Deasy

Native Trees - Work-in-process performance sharing I UCC and Bollinger Family Space at Uillinn I Sat 4 Apr, 3:00pm I 40mins including discussion

Through deep, active and engaged reciprocity between the human body and the natural world, Helga investigates native Irish trees and the Ogham Calendar. In this sharing of work developed over several months in residency at Uillinn, Helga has been exploring the interrelationship between sensory perceptions, somatic experiences and imagination arising from the natural landscape in a co-creative process with nature. In the face of the climate emergency, the artist investigates how a practice of dance and embodied awareness can create new ways of knowing and bring about perceptual transformation in how we relate to and connect with nature.

The sharing will include the presentation of film footage and a short live performance developed in collaboration with dancer Kanako Haru, film maker Eoin Ó hAnnracháin and composer/musician Justin Grounds.
