All Over [2] // Paul Regan
What substance to emerge from. Older stronger branch of divinity. Checking floor level grounding for affirmation of: skin type, blood pressures and relative humility. Half-be / half-made... serenity signals over and above the time of year. The setting in motion of going through devotion, the engine gets heavier but easier to lift this time.
Recurring themes Paul Regan’s work pertain to faith, religion, ritual, cultural identity and misappropriation. In recent years, he has developed a live performance practice to expand on ideas of compulsive action through site-specific interventions and activism.

CURTAIN CALL // Pianka Pärna
Set in a landscape where the traditions and discipline of ballet meet Eastern European folklore, Curtain Call inhabits a surreal landscape of grotesque ballet artists, exhausted by perfection and hungry for something wilder.
Visceral and sensorial, Curtain Call explores oppression, liberation, occupation and independence as well as BDSM, queerness, authority and consent. As bodies are cinched into PVC latex suits alongside headpieces referencing the baby-hungry Baba Yaga, pointe shoes and fetish-inflected ballet objects collide to create a world where classical beauty is deconstructed.
Referencing both Slavic mythology and contemporary body culture and modification, the visual language of Curtain Call asks what perfection conceals and what it reveals.

Every Law a Tattoo // Mal Parry
In this new performance work, Mal Parry responds to the climate of hostility and legislative violence towards queer and trans people via a collision of contemporary materials with traditional craft practices. Hand-embroidering into mass-produced silicone prosthetics, they meet the fragmentation, objectification and exploitation of the body through practices of DIY resistance and repair.
The work is inspired by the uncanny fact that since medieval times, UK laws have been inscribed on vellum (calf skin).

TAIBHSE [Ghost] // Eoin McCaul
TAIBHSE [Ghost] is an ongoing movement and sound work which studies ghosts, particularly those ghosts of touch which haunt the body through life — whether familial, erotic, or otherwise. It emerges out of a fascination with the various forms of touch we encounter in life, as well as a fascination with the relationship between touch and sound.
The score is created live and is composed entirely of sounds of contact made during performance, looped and mixed live by Dilan Kumar.
