Carriage Bearance Severance
SEPTEMBER 26 @ 5PM
Rain or shine! We’re moving across the street to the beer garden at KENNEDY’S BAR.
The audience will be more comfortable there, in a sheltered and heated area where you can have a sip of something nice while you watch. We’d love for you to come for all 90 minutes, but it’s okay to drop in or move around the space, get a drink, go to the loo, etc.

Created between 2015 and 2021, Carriage Bearance Severance is a performance trilogy by Matty Davis and Ben Gould that marks the trajectory of a relationship forged by shifting need, desire, and growth. Davis and Gould’s work together began as an investigation of reliance, control, and care. Saturated by surgery, healing, friendship, and mutual learning, their research delineated new bounds of freedom and possibility. What could be shared, reciprocated, and endured was soon transfigured by both personal and global contexts that fostered questions regarding separateness, autonomy, and new forms of radical empathy. As physical and emotional worlds evolve, all is remembered yet actively growing.

CULTURE NIGHT
Friday September 17th at 16:00, 18:00 & 21:00
Free, no booking required
Do you ever wonder what the future will look like?
Blanche Godivier and Lucie Lesclauze of the Dahu Collective invite you on a journey filled with surprising scenarios from the future in this contemporary dance duet.
Turfu Project is an interactive performance – you will be able to make choices that will change the whole course of the piece. Lay your eyes on a new planet, or perhaps meet cyborgs! All of these stories were developed with people the Paris-based dancers met during their Unexpected Spaces Residency in Killeagh. In fact, interviewing members of the community was an essential part of the creation process as the choreographers collected thoughts about the future. Contributions came from both children and adults, and the resulting performance welcomes people of all ages!
Unexpected Spaces is Greywood Arts’ public art residency, supported by Cork County Council, which provides artists with a month-long residency and production of a public artwork.
LOCATIONS:
4 & 6pm: Woodview Housing Estate Green

A screening of films by Hannah R.W. Hamalian
41 minutes
This collection of seven short films from animator and filmmaker Hannah R.W. Hamalian offers reflections on the ways that the space we inhabit can be seen as more than just a setting, but as a context for reassessing assumptions about being. Using movement and sound as symbols for the complexities of experience, each film offers a different way to answer the question: why and how do we become who we are?
Hannah R.W. Hamalian is an animator and filmmaker based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. She uses animation, appropriated videos, and collaborations with dancers to ask questions and present abstract narratives. Her work has screened and shown at festivals internationally, including KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival, Athens International Film and Video Festival (Ohio, USA), and the Squeaky Wheel Animation Fest (New York, USA). She received her BA from Carleton College and her MFA from UW-Milwaukee.

21 April: The Last Vault by Creative Killeagh Artist-in-the-Community Residency Sara French Have you ever imagined a world where money was extinct? This inconceivable premise is what set the groundwork for artist in residence, Sara French. Her final hurrah at Greywood invites the public to immerse their frugal selves into the setting of a pub where money has no meaning, no value, and no place. Visitors will have to barter a story, song, joke, trick, or game to gain an artisan beverage made during the residency. Participants from the workshops will be afoot discussing their experience of making bitters and designing material-less games. To conclude the evening, the artist will perform a short play set in a post-tender world.
