SUMMARY:CIACLA Session – March 2020
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to be able to announce the return of one of the most popular events in our 2019 Program for 2020! \nOn Saturday March 7\, a new CIACLA Session will take place in One Colorado Old Pasadena. Featuring music\, theatre\, poetry and more\, performers include Patrick D’Arcy\, Hannah Crowley\, Dan Conroy\, Susan Craig Winsberg\, Adam Weafer\, Alan Smyth\, Kira Ott\, Hannah Redlich and Ceili Rua.  \nOne Colorado welcomes the Contemporary Irish Arts Center Los Angeles for an evening “Session\,” blending traditional and contemporary Irish music\, dance\, and storytelling. “Session” references a traditional Irish music session\, which is an informal gathering of musicians and singers who perform in a freeform manner typically in-the-round. Generally held in a pub-like setting\, sessions can also include poetry\, readings\, and Irish dancing. They are about celebrating traditional Irish music and culture and having some fun or “a bit of Craic” as they say in Ireland.​

SUMMARY:Poetry Screening
DESCRIPTION:CIACLA &  Poetry International Present a screening in Gallery 2 of American & Irish Video Poetry!  \nFeaturing work by: Bernard O’Rourke\, Dylan Townsend\, Kath MacLean\, Timothy David Orme\, Swoon and Heather Haley\, Dennis E. Bolen and Tara Flynn\, Robert Lax and Susanne Wiegner\, Carolyn Guinzio\, Jack Feldstein\, Tom Konyves\, Duriel E. Harris and Scott Rankin\, and David (jhave) Johnston.  \nRuns: September 25 – 28  \nGallery opens: 1-6pm \nThis selection of video poetry – selected by Jennifer Minniti- Shippey of Poetry International – represents a new frontier for a traditional artform. \nVideo poetry recalls poetry’s origin in an oral tradition\, and fuses this with the latest advances in technology. The wide availability of digital cameras and the popularity of video content on social media makes this a highly accessible form to both creators and audiences. Video poetry frequently draws upon spoken word and poetry meant to be performed live\, where the voice of the poet is a key element in addition to the text. The form also draws upon the tradition of experimental cinema\, often prioritising a sensory experience rather than a narrative one.  \nWith this showcase\, CIACLA aims to share video poetry from both Irish and American authors with a Los Angeles audience.  \n A selection of these video were honored in the inaugural Poetry International Cinepoetry exhibition\, which was curated by Francesco Levato. Further details can be found here.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoetry International based on the campus of San Diego State University\, is one of the oldest and most respected literary journals in the world specifically dedicated to poetry and poetics from around the globe.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout: Jennifer Minniti- Shippey \nJennifer Minniti- Shippey is the Managing Editor of Poetry International literary journal\, Director of Poetic Youth\, and a professor at San Diego State University. She earned her B.A. with honors in English from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in 2003\, and her M.F.A in Creative Writing- Poetry from San Diego State University in 2008. \nIn 2009\, she was hired as the Managing Editor of Poetry International\, and she has taught at SDSU in the Department of English & Comparative Literature since that time. \nJennifer has also taught poetry at the University of San Diego and in community writing workshops through the Creative Cusp\, the Magee Park Poets\, and other San Diego arts organizations.Jennifer’s chapbook\, Done Dating DJs\, won the 2008 Fool for Poetry Competition\, sponsored by the Munster Literature Centre and Southword Editions of Cork\, Ireland. \nHer second chapbook\, Earth’s Horses & Boys\, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2013. After the Tour\, her first full-length collection\, was published by Calypso Editions in 2018. Her chapbook manuscript “Waiting for a Ripe Mango” was a finalist for the Tupelo Snowbound Chapbook contest. Individual poems\, translations\, and reviews have appeared in Salamander\, Cider Press Review\, Spillway\, Tar River Poetry\, Jackson Hole Review\, San Diego Poetry Annual\, The San Diego Union-Tribune\, and many others.Minniti- Shippey has performed her work at national and international venues\, including The Narrators San Diego\, the San Diego Art Institute\, the Éigse Literary Festival in Cork\, and MART Dublin. \nEmail: jenny@ciacla.com  \nwww.jennyminnitishippey.com

SUMMARY:Carnivore - Luke Murphy & Dance Ireland Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Conceived\, Directed and Choreographed by Luke Murphy \nSculpture by Alex Pentek \nPerformed by Eric Jackson Bradley\, Luke Murphy\, Lily Ockwell and Emily Terndrup \nCarnivore was created through a 2018-2019 Arts Council of Ireland Arts Grant Award and developed through residencies at Tanztendenz Munich\, DanceNow Silo\, Shawbrook Residency 2019\, Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre and Ultima Vez. \nPerformance July 17th at 7.30pm   \nCIACLA & Dance Ireland are proud to announce Luke Murphy as the recipient of The 2019 CIACLA Dance Residency. Through this residency CIACLA and Dance Ireland will provide the awardee a space to devise\, rehearse and showcase new work in Los Angeles. \nUsing the research of The Renaissance Skin Project (Kings College London) as a jumping off point\, Carnivore examines what touch\, contact\, and physical identity mean in a rapidly changing world. With the revolution of the printing press standing in close parallel to the development of a digital age we are once again at a moment where notions of beauty\, identity\, communication\, intimacy\, worth and self are rapidly evolving\, changing\, eroding and redefining themselves. Texture and form are once again challenged as the architectural nature of Alex Pentek’s large foldable forms conflict with the unharnessed physicality of the performers in space. Through a series of physical vignettes in dialogue with these evolving sculptural elements\, Carnivore will zoom in and out on the sensation of touch and the lifespan of the readable body in a visceral and evocative audience experience. \nAbout Luke Murphy \nOriginally from Cork City\, Luke is a performer\, choreographer and a Dance Ireland Associate Artist based between Cork\, New York and Brussels. Luke has danced with Ultima Vez from 2014-2018 touring internationally in productions of In Spite of Wishing and Wanting\, Booty Looting and Spiritual Unity and Punchdrunk since 2009\, performing leading roles in the original casts of Sleep No More in Shanghai (‘16-‘18)\, New York City (’11-‘15) as well as productions of The Drowned Man in London and Sleep No More in Boston. In addition he has danced in the companies of Martha Clarke\, Kate Weare and Pavel Zustiak and in projects with Ben Duke\, John Kelly\, John Scott\, Luca Silvestrini\, Jonah Bokaer and Bill T Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company. \nLuke’s own work has been supported by various commissions\, awards and residencies internationally including Arts Council of Ireland\, Cork City Council\, CultureIreland\, New England Foundation for the Arts National Dance Project\, Kaatsbaan International Dance Centre\, Pavilion Theatre\, Tyrone Guthrie Centre\, Irish Arts Centre\, Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, DanceLimerick\, DanceBase Edinburgh\, Tribeca Performing Arts Centre\, DanceNow Silo Kirkland Farm\, Tanz Tendendz Munich\, b12 Berlin and others. He has created and performed eight evening length works throughout Ireland\, UK and USA (Drenched 2012\, Icarus 2013\, Your Own Man/Mad Notions 2015\, On Triumph and Trauma 2016\, The Dust We Raised 2017 ExCaelo 2018 The Milkyboy Kid 2018 Carnivore 2019). Luke founded Attic Projects in 2014 as an umbrella for his various independent projects in dance\, film and theatre. Luke is the producer and programming director of The Catch8 Workshop Series in Cork City and is currently working toward the opening of a new dance residency centre in County Cork. \nLuke trained at Point Park University where he earned his BFA in Dance and English in 2009 and University of Chichester where he earned an MA in Choreography in 2017. \nwww.atticprojects.com  \nDance Ireland: \nDance Ireland supports the development of all forms of dance in Ireland through training\, professional opportunities and advocacy. We are Ireland’s national dance development organisation and\, true to our origins\, we are proud to continue to be the representative body for the professional dance community in Ireland.

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nOpened June 15th @ 6pm – Check out our LAUNCH Event for more info! \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, has created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hangs over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience walk into and stand underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hangs entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation will shapeshift. Performers will move the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation is visually stunning and carries with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggest multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea.

SUMMARY:Seminar - Care. Complicity. Critique
DESCRIPTION:Seminar June 17th from 11am – 2pm ! \nPerformances will be held on June 15th at 6pm and June 16th from 1-3pm \nSpeakers: Anuradha Vikram\, Mary Anna Pomonis\, Amanda Beech\, Katherine Nolan\, Amanda Coogan\, Cindy Rehm\, Thinh Nguyen\, Meiling Cheng\, Marjan Vayghan\, Barbara T Smith\, Kaucyila Brooke.  \n** Free Admission or Donation Welcome – See Tickets Below.  \nCare. Complicity. Critique. will be comprised of a series of performances by Irish and Los Angeles based artists\, and a seminar discussing the modes of performance\, politics and critique arising from their practices. \nThis programme aims to engage audiences with contemporary performance art by bringing together key Irish and American artists working in the field. Looking at their practices through the lenses of ‘care\, complicity and critique’\, the project will make a space for considering a range of ways of looking at and responding to local and global politics\, through performance practice.  \nThe concept of care\, has been mobilized not unproblematically within feminist philosophy in areas such as the Ethics of Care (Gilligan\, Noddings). Proposing a mapping of caring inter-relationships onto wider society on a global level can easily slide into a normative morality and compounding of gender stereotypes. And yet there persists a sense that ethical and empathetic inter-relations might offer a counteractive force to the dehumanisation that occurs through the use fear and terror by the alt-right as means of social control. In this way the idea of care has a kind of polemic value that might be reconsidered through performance.  \nThe act of collusion is one that is in constant focus in the media in relation to the Trump Administration. However on a less obvious level\, it is the manipulation of the subject through rhetoric in order to collude in their own oppression that allows the maintenance of power and control\, and the status quo. This programme will also consider the role of complicity as a mode of both performance and critique. \nCritique of institutions can be looked at as the scrutiny of systemic oppression by for instance drawing attention to the ways in which power operates\, or by gathering and disseminating data to measure and reveal the depth and breadth of inequality in societal structures.

SUMMARY:Amanda Coogan - The Ladder is Always There - Gallery 1
DESCRIPTION:The Ladder is Always There – Visual Arts Exhibition \nRuns to July 5th \nOpen Wed – Sun\, 1-6pm \nOn Sunday 23 June and Sunday 30 June\, artist Amanda Coogan will present an engagement with between local artists and the work from 1-3pm.  \nCurated by Matthew Nevin & Ciara Scanlan. \nIn The Ladder Is Always There\, internationally renowned Irish performance artist\, Amanda Coogan\, created an immersive site specific installation\, alongside a series of live performances.  \nContinuing her explorations of embodiment and liveness\, Coogan’s installation hung over the gallery of CIACLA. Audience  members walked into and stood underneath its groaning presence. First commissioned by MOCA Jacksonville in response to a hand painted dress by Mark Chagall for Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. Made of fabric the colour of the artist’s skin\, the sculpture hung entangled in peaks and troughs calling to mind a landscape\, a seascape or an extension of the body. A ladder\, suspended from the ceiling at an unattainable height\, is always there; a metonym for the potential of movement and change. Through a series of live performances the installation shapeshifted. Performers moved the membrane of the sculpture\, lowering and raising its peaks; shifting perspectives. \nAs with much of Coogan’s work the installation was visually stunning and carried with it poetic resonances. The activities of the silent bodies of the performers rearranging the installation suggested multi resonant layers of meaning. Their gestures\, based on Irish Sign Language alongside the pulsating soundtrack – relating to the Adrienne Rich poem\, Diving into the Wreck\, pour further rich sources to the work.  The Ladder is Always There speaks to a metaphorical journey in which Coogan and by extension\, the other performers\, dive into or work to overcome an obstacle. \nThe first iteration of The Ladder is Always was commissioned by and exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville in 2018/2019. We show it here at CIACLA with special thanks to Caitlin Doherty. \nThe installation features new Music by Emer Kinsella. \nAbout the Artist: Amanda Coogan \nAmanda is an internationally recognised and critically acclaimed artist working across the medias of live art\, performance\, sculpture and installation. The Irish Times have said\, ‘Coogan\, whose work usually entails ritual\, endurance and cultural iconography\, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging\, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted\, and challenge expected contexts. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art. \nThe body\, as a site of resistance\, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. She encompass a multitude of media; Objects\, Text\, moving and still image\, all circulating around her live performances. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. Time is a key material in Coogan’s practice\, building controlled instability into the fabric of her work. The long durational aspect of her live presentations invites elements of chaos with the unknown and unpredicted erupting dynamically through her live artworks. \nCoogan was awarded the Allied Irish Bank’s Art Prize and has extensively presented and performed her work\, including at The Venice Biennale\, Liverpool Biennial\, PS1; New York\, The Whitworth Gallery; Manchester\, The Museum of Fine Arts; Boston\, Van Gogh Museum; Amsterdam and the Manchester International Festival; The MAC\, Belfast; The Niemeyer\, Aviles. From 2010-2013 Coogan worked with theatre director Robert Wilson on his production The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic where two of her works are quoted; Yellow and Medea. In 2016 the British Council commissioned her to produce Run to the Rock\, a mediation on Shakespeare’s text from the Robbin Island bible for their Shakespeare Lives programme. She has just closed a major live exhibition; I’ll sing you a song from around the town\, which Artforum described as ‘performance art at its best’. \nwww.amandacoogan.com \n  \n\nKindly Supported by Culture Ireland and the Government of Ireland: Emigrant Support Programme.

SUMMARY:Performances - Care. Complicity. Critique.
DESCRIPTION:Live Performances on June 16th from 1-3pm. – See Tickets Below. \nSeminar June 17th – 11am – 2pm \nPerformers: Lili Bernard\, Michiko Yao\, Therese Bachand\, Claire Apana\, Sarah Julig\, Maya Gurantz\, Cindy Rehm\, Thinh Nguyen\, Katherine Nolan\, Amanda Coogan\, Marjan Vayghan\, Dajin Yoon\, Matthew Nevin\, Tim Kline & Dean Robertson. \nCare. Complicity. Critique. will be comprised of a series of performances by Irish and Los Angeles based artists\, and a seminar discussing the modes of performance\, politics and critique arising from their practices. \nThis programme aims to engage audiences with contemporary performance art by bringing together key Irish and American artists working in the field. Looking at their practices through the lenses of ‘care\, complicity and critique’\, the project will make a space for considering a range of ways of looking at and responding to local and global politics\, through performance practice.  \nThe concept of care\, has been mobilized not unproblematically within feminist philosophy in areas such as the Ethics of Care (Gilligan\, Noddings). Proposing a mapping of caring inter-relationships onto wider society on a global level can easily slide into a normative morality and compounding of gender stereotypes. And yet there persists a sense that ethical and empathetic inter-relations might offer a counteractive force to the dehumanisation that occurs through the use fear and terror by the alt-right as means of social control. In this way the idea of care has a kind of polemic value that might be reconsidered through performance.  \nThe act of collusion is one that is in constant focus in the media in relation to the Trump Administration. However on a less obvious level\, it is the manipulation of the subject through rhetoric in order to collude in their own oppression that allows the maintenance of power and control\, and the status quo. This programme will also consider the role of complicity as a mode of both performance and critique. \nCritique of institutions can be looked at as the scrutiny of systemic oppression by for instance drawing attention to the ways in which power operates\, or by gathering and disseminating data to measure and reveal the depth and breadth of inequality in societal structures. Changing this structural oppression however is more difficult. How can performance mobilise such forms of critique? \nBloomsday Readings \nJames Joyce’s Ulysses features one of the great female voices of Modern literature\, Molly Bloom. But what does it mean for that iconic female voice to have come to us through Joyce\, a male writer? How can men be complicit in–accomplices in–the work of female equality? As part of Care. Complicity. Critique Performance Event at CIACLA on this Bloomsday \, join a range of Irish & American male voices as they uplift Molly Bloom’s stream-of-consciousness narrative at this special event. Featuring Matthew Nevin\, Tim Kline & Dean Robertson. \nCurated by Dr.Katherine Nolan and the Association of Hysteric Curators  \nDr. Katherine Nolan \nDr. Katherine Nolan is an artist\, lecturer and curator specialising in gender and new media.
