Squarehead Productions

Company Name: Squarehead Productions

Show name: Stickman, FALAWH, Stories of Falling Objects

Artist: Darragh McLoughlin

Contact details:

Email: darramcloughlin@gmail.com

Website: www.squareheadproductions.com

Facebook @CieSquareheadProductions

Bio: Darragh McLoughlin left Ireland at the tender age of 18 to attend a school for juggling and object manipulation in Berlin. Soon after he moved to The Netherlands to join the Academy of Circus and Performance Art.

In 2012, Darragh co-founded Squarehead Productions to be a platform for artistic research and collaboration. In 2014 he was selected as a Circus Next laureate. He has since toured 5 works in 17 countries.

Current interests: existentialism, game theory, ludology, psychology, and cognitive science.

About: Darragh is currently touring several different pieces, some are solo works, others are in collaboration with other artists. With his roots in contemporary circus there is a strong emphasis on the body and movement as languages and subjects within his work. Each of his works operates with the experience of the audience being a central theme throughout. He also works as a director, dramaturg, teacher in professional schools and occasionally as a cook.

Current works: Stickman - A man and a stick move through a series of intricate balance actions all the while the audience is told what to see by a T.V. in the background. “Do you like being told what to see?’ asks the television before calling the audience ‘WATCHERS’.

FALWAH - ‘For As Long As We're Here’ is a series of performance installations in which circus artists perform an uninterrupted durational performance of a single circus trick for up to 5 hours during which they are slowly transformed by the weight of time and effort.

Stories of Falling Objects – is a work that blurs the lines between live performance and visual art in which Darragh generates a vast amount of drawings (now over a thousand) by balancing objects on his hand all the while the same hand holds a pen to a canvas. The movement created by balancing the object is then recorded on the page below.

Review/ audience reaction:

"(Stickman) operates on several meta-levels at the same time, constantly (re)framing perceptions and making their and our manipulability itself the subject. Very funny and very intelligent in its communication with the audience. "

"Darragh is one of Europe’s very promising emerging authors of innovative contemporary stage works, having gained international recognition with his creations already by now. His artistic approach contributes to the international performing arts scene, blurring the lines between different genres and inspiring hybrid forms of trans-disciplinary playwriting." Director of Circus Next

The two are left without words, only action! It’s acrobatic anarchy when they literally climb over, under and around each other to gain the upper hand.

Bio: Polina Shapkina an emerging Slavic-Irish Circus artist (specialisation:mixed aerials and fire dance) and a self taught director.

Show description: MAKOSH is a self directed 30minute evolving piece, involving aerial, dance and surrealist theatre. MAKOSH takes conceptual inspiration from the works of Carl Jung as the audience is invited into a dreamscape, the depths of the psyche.

Peppered with Slavic folk and post-soviet dystopian motifs, it gives visual nods to experimental film makers such as Sergei Parayanov and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Artist, maker, designer

Contact details:

Email: bridgetndb@gmail.com

Website: www.bridgetbdesign.com

Bio: Bridget Ní Dhuinn is a film and theatre designer based in Ireland. Alongside design, Bridget also specialises in mask making and puppetry for the spectacle and performance arts world, these skills she developed in Taiwan where she worked alongside taiwanese and balinese artists. Bridget's work is highly collaborative, working with a range of artists and performers and values the ability to work collaboratively in a way which is creative and innovative. She has also designed and created work with the two leading Spectacle companies in Ireland - Macnas and Spraoi.

Bridget Ní Dhuinn collaborated with Erebidae Circus as maker in DANU, an immersive experimental circus theatre show, creating the Danu puppet. The concept behind this puppet was to explore the adoption and blending of pagan gods and goddesses into the early Christian religion in Ireland. The evolution of these pagan characters has intrigued Bridget and her work, raising questions and internal dialogue around her own spirituality and how it is interlinked in her culture and its folktales. The origins of the Goddess Danu is quite the enigma, this project allowed Bridget to explore and reimagine this pagan goddess while developing her skills in puppetry and applying new techniques.

Bridget is interested in collaborating on future projects in addition to her work with Erebidae Circus.
