The majority of Theatre and Film Practice students see the 3rd year shows as the pinnacle of their time at Dkit, at least academically speaking. That has not been possible this year, one more small cruelty heaped upon the miseries caused by the coronavirus. There are learning outcomes for these modules that are not listed in any documentation or on any website. These are the graduate attributes of fortitude, resilience and inventiveness, and the students have shown these in abundance. Beginning with a more or less blank piece of paper, they have created a story and told it using a format previously alien to them, without blinking or complaint. This, then, is their riposte to Covid, the story of four young people and their journeys through not untypical Irish experiences, the obstacles they faced and overcame, the trials and tribulations, long lives lived and memories of when they were…….19

‘An eerie performance that captures the inner struggle of artists and musicians around Ireland today. The performance takes inspiration from the studies of the liminal space and how it can be related to music, how musicians are trapped inside this threshold and the opportunities that present themselves but are just out of reach.’

It is my intention in this piece to model the work of Sophie Calle and to observe people in the public and to build a biography of who I think they are and what their lives are like.

‘Dystant‘ represents the experience of Gender Dysphoria, in particular focusing on its impact on mental health. This piece takes the personal accounts of young genderqueer adults and makes their voices heard. With the combined use of performance and animation, ‘Dystant‘ features dark visuals that aim to recreate the state of mind of many individuals living with Dysphoria and societal pressure.

I want to explore what a daily routine can do to your mind. While it can be comforting it can really exhaust you at the same time and make you feel like you are just repeating the same thing for your whole life. I strive to emulate practitioners like Pina Bausch who repeated significant movements and routines over and over again to the point of exhaustion.

My performance piece which is called Isolation Room is about a young man trapped in a room blocked off from society with nothing but his thoughts. While in the room on his own he starts playing with a stress ball to relieve his mind from the pressures from the outside world. He starts off by sitting on his bed moving the ball from one hand to the other over and over again his movement’s then get faster, he then gets up real quick and paces up and down the room while catching the ball. As he paces up and down the room his movement gets faster and faster while repeating the same movements over and over again. He then realises that he can’t go any further and stops as if he has gone as far as he could, he then turns around looks out the window and sits down on his bed realising that he can’t take it anymore and drops his head. There is also music played throughout the performance piece. This adds more emotion to the scene and matches the pace of the characters movement as the movement keeps building throughout the performance.

I’ve come up with the idea to break social norms by performing different tasks, in various locations, I also intend on disturbing liminal spaces such as train stations or airports. Some of these tasks can be mundane and also random or pointless. It’s to prove a point that we do not have to perform tasks that society has constructed in certain locations in and minimal and abstract way.
