„Mér fannst mjög vel farið með þetta, þetta gefur mikið tilefni til drama en það var samt svo mikil fegurð, sem hljómar skrýtilega í þessu samhengi. Þessi upplifun var svo mögnuð að mínu viti. Það var dásamlegt að taka þátt í þessu. Virkilega virkilega vel gert.“Lestarklefinn, Rás 1, 26.09.2020

 -The farmer and the fisherman-
Audio and installation based performance on a train
Role: co-director and co-author
City of Culture Celebration, N-Ireland, 2013

The Farmer & The Fisherman takes place while the audience is travelling on a train from Coleraine to Derry, a route once described as one of the world’s great train journeys.

Taking the archetypes of the farmer and fisherman as a starting point, the piece invites the audience/passenger to explore how the land and the sea has shaped this region, its people and their choice of whether to stay or see what is beyond this island.

-Mean Between Times-
Audio- and installation based performance on a train
Role: co-director and co-author
Concept and production: 11:18
Performed at G+DIF Theatre Festival London, June 2012

Mean Between Times offers the train window as a new perspective on London and those who navigate through it everyday. It takes you to the edges of the city and beyond and asks you to look and to listen. We use sound, installation and the surrounding landscape to tell some of the stories that exist in the space between Central London and the Meridian Line at Greenwich.

A commission from Greenwich + Docklands International Festival, Mean Between Times took place on the train from Charing Cross to Greenwich via London Bridge. We were delighted to collaborate with writer/dramaturg Bryony Lavery and composer Jonny Pilcher for this project, as well as all the local residents and businesses who helped us make it happen.
Supported by Arts Council England and National Lottery, and IdeasTap.
