Point of Departure: a Lament
Created 2017-07-03 by Alison Glennie
Location: Reen Farm Sculpture Garden - Co. Cork
Duration: 2017-07-03 to 2017-08-03
Project Outline
Point of Departure: a Lament was a site-specific, immersive, promenade performance art piece, devised for Reen Farm Sculpture Garden in West Cork, at the invitation of internationally acclaimed artist John Kelly. It was a response to the spectacular coastal site and Kelly’s installations and landworks, which make connections to An Gorta Mor (The Great Hunger). It was developed as an intergenerational performative project, to reflect the different backgrounds of the former inhabitants of that ravaged land. The project provided several participants from my drama workshops the experience of working alongside performers on a professional production. Their feedback was positive and has encouraged them to further explore the medium of drama. (A parent acted as chaperone.) ’Point of Departure’ was shown as part of the Skibbereen arts Festival 2017.
