Luke Murphy
Showing „Carnivore“

Tanztendenz

Im Dezember ist der irische Choreograf Luke Murphy Residenz-Gast der Tanztendenz. Zusammen mit seinen Performern probt er an seinem kommenden Werk „Carnivore“. Auszüge daraus präsentiert das Showing. Im Anschluss Gespräch mit den Künstlern über ihren Arbeitsprozess.

„Carnivore“: A provocative new project commissioned by and created in a response to „The Renaissance Skin Project“ at Kings College London – With six hundred years behind us we still find ourselves caught between contradictory rhetoric simultaneously celebrating the body but emphasising identity and self as lying elsewhere.

ln collaboration with Kings College London Historians Evelyn Welch and Hannah Murphy the work examines how the central research questions of „The Renaissance Skin“ project can be applied to contemporary notions of beauty, identity, communication, intimacy, worth and self. Through a series of physical vignettes in dialogue with a constantly evolving spatial context, „Carnivore“ will mine the sensation, expectation, detachment and feeling of the information our skin feeds us at any given moment.

„Carnivore“ will be created in collaboration with sculptor Alex Pentek on a large installation of foldable origami pieces which will be constructed and deconstructed throughout the performance. Texture and form are once again challenged as the architectural nature of the installation comes into conflict with unharnessed physicality of the performers in space.

„Carnivore“ will preview on May 23rd at The James O'Driscoll Gallery at Uillinn Arts Centre and Premiere from May 27-31 at Crawford Gallery in Cork, Ireland. Carnivore is supported by a 2018-2019 Arts Council of Ireland Arts Grant Award and created through residencies at Shawbrook (Ireland), DanceNow Silo Kirkland Farm (USA), Tanztendenz (Munich), Ultima Vez (Brussels) and AnSanctoir (Ireland)
