Choreographer Fiona Quilligan finds herself in the woods at Fernhill - as part of a dream team - to install James McKennas sculptures, two dancers act as a counterweight on ropes while the figures are hauled high up into the treetops - a vantage point where they reign supreme!
Window Woman plays with ideas of duality; from the sensual body to McKennas female warriors of early Irish society, who give and receive the wisdoms of life. Always resilient in conflict, they are resourceful and flexible in mind and body. McKennas sculptures loom over the dance with a life giving force inspiring an impassioned earth driven ritual of empowerment.
Window Woman features David Collier's debut release on Ergodos records. Smacht is a collection of some of his latest work performed by an all-star string quartet of Cora Venus Lunny, Adrian Hart, Robin Panter and Kate Ellis, and New York percussion group Mobius Percussion.
