Landing Places

Kate Wilson

February 2023

About the Artist(s)

Undercurrent was founded in 2016 and is dedicated to research and performance that explores experiences of mobility with diverse practitioners. Work is widely supported by Arts Council Ireland as well as local funding bodies and continues to challenge audience perceptions through innovative theatre and gallery-based performances.

Undercurrent is delighted to be including a week-long in-person residency for Landing Places at the Dock in February 2023. Landing Places is a dance-based research project that addresses issues of containment and displacement within somatic and geographic experiences of mobility.

In a collaboration with UK sound artist Olivir Haylett, this new work was developed by Kate Wilson (Artistic Director of Undercurrent) along with an exceptional team of dance artists for this research project. The artists are Gaelin Little (UK), Isolde Ó’Brolcháin Carmody (IRE), Loveth Oyiboka (Nigeria), Robin Wilson (IRE), and Mintesinot Wolde (IRE & Ethiopia).

Work by Undercurrent continues to be driven by Kate’s ongoing interest in diverse experiences of mobility. Exploration of restriction and freedom of movement has led to collaborations with swimmers, parkour performers, performers who are wheelchair users and performers with down syndrome.

Landing Places extends this list to include exploration of mobility on land and the diverse experiences of containment with a particular focus on potential convergences between geographical displacement and restricted body mobility.

Descendants of nomads, movement through the world, and the dances within and around us are our very expression of life. Core to community and their relation to ‘other’, Landing Places is a unique platform for these experienced and diverse movement practitioners to explore how movement and dance practices can expand our understanding of our societal and cultural experiences of mobility. Landing Places research project is supported by Arts Council Bursary Award.
