Zierle & Carter - 'Waiting for your promise' for DUO DAYS, Catalyst Arts, Belfast
Performed by Zierle & Carter at Catalyst Arts Gallery, Belfast for the 2013 Arts Council Northern Ireland funded DUO DAYS performance art event, 'Waiting for your promise' fundamentally explores relationship dynamics. Bound tight together, blinded to each other by the material that confines them, this process based material led performance unfolds, slowly unraveling its layers. The work brings to the surface issues surrounding co-dependency, limited projections of the other, tension, conflict, balance, and the 45min durational gradual act of burning the attachments free, to reconcile by bringing both glowing singed ends together to cinder, smoke and be transformed. Video filmed and edited by Emmanuelle Negre. This event was organised by BBeyond and curated by Hugh O'Donnell and Anne Quail.

Scottish Eye - The Right Connections
1990 Documentary on the ill-fated rise of the far-right in Scotland.
The claims made by BNP members in this programme about Scotland being the BNP's area of greatest potential growth was the catalyst that drew a number of working class activists to form branches of Anti-Fascist Action in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Rumour has it that the black eyes and bruises on the Scottish BNP leaders in the interviews may even have come courtesy of some of those fledgling AFA members at the demonstration, which took place in December 1989 at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh (brief footage included in this film).
TAL Fanzine is: Anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-working class and pro-republican...
Danny Devenny – Belfast Mural Artist
Danny Devenny – The Birth of the Republic memorial mural
At The Ambassador Theatre, O'Connell St, Dublin. Opens 27th February, 2016.
Belfast artist Danny Devenny is responsible for some of the most powerful and provocative murals painted during the Northern Ireland Troubles. His latest project is a memorial – a mural interpretation inspired by Robert Ballagh's iconic painting 'The Birth Of The Irish Republic' which tells of that defining moment in Dublin's GPO.
When you're close to someone, you forget how much of a genius they are, Devenny says of his friend Robert Ballagh. He's my friend, so I never thought about it until I first saw the painting, I got what he was trying to do, he was bringing that old image at the GPO into the modern age. To be recognised and warmed-to by a younger generation.
Devenny's experiences during the 1970s as a paramilitary prisoner in Long Kesh, forged his understanding of how to communicate an ideology and struggle through art with very limited resources.
I was there with the people who discussed and planned where this little island was going, says Devenny. We called it the 'University of Freedom', so Bobby Sands would have been one of my best friends there. We talked and planned about how the future could be.
The living conditions and allowances afforded to Republican prisoners in Long Kesh was in stark contrast to what their comrades were experiencing in British prisons and this was fully appreciated by Devenny and his cell mates.
Our comrades in British prisons were not only being brutalised and tortured by the regime – ordinary English prisoners hated them too. Here we were, sitting in Long Kesh, visitors coming to see us every week.
In a show of solidarity for their comrades in England, the Long Kesh group wrote to newspapers while Devenny began to design posters illustrating their brutal prison conditions. Danny's illustrations and posters were then smuggled out through cardboard laundry boxes, printed externally by Sinn Féin for public use (the video above features some of those publications).
A fitting location for the exhibition, the Ambassador Theatre was formerly the Rotunda Rink and dates back to 1764. It was here on 25 November 1913 that the Irish Volunteers held a mass meeting and many volunteers who took part in the 1916 Rising signed up.
During the 1916 Rising, the Ambassador was the backdrop for the famous image of British Soldiers posing with the captured Irish Republic flag held upside down and inside out. Beside the building is where the captured rebels from the G.P.O. and Four Courts garrisons were held out overnight at the front of the Rotunda.
REVOLUTION 1916 – The Original & Authentic Exhibition in the Ambassador Theatre O’Connell St., Dublin opens 27 February, 2016. Tickets for the exhibition, priced from €15, with concessions, are available now through Ticketmaster.

Edinburgh Showcase 2019: 'dressed.' by ThisEgg in collaboration with Made My Wardrobe
ThisEgg is Josie Dale-Jones, a new talent who self-produces, co-creates and performs with a variety of artistic collaborators. Dale-Jones devises original work which mixes theatrical styles, celebrating different forms of entertainment. The work has a sense of intimacy that connects with audiences, responding to the world we live in and prompting us to ask big questions. A previous show, My & My Bee, was made for family audiences and toured to 100 UK venues. In 2019, Theatre Royal Bath awarded her a scholarship to create a new work.
Lydia Higginson now only wears clothes she has made. Made My Wardrobe is the blog she created to document and share the process and everything behind it. Her project is the catalyst behind dressed
dressed. was a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, winning a Fringe First. It tells a true story and features four females who have all been friends since school: a theatremaker (Dale-Jones), a costume maker (Higginson), a singer (Nobahar Mahdavi) and a dancer (Olivia Norris). It explores a traumatic real life experience into something beautiful and resilient. The show is about reclaiming one’s body, female friendship and the power clothes have to define, liberate, hide and embellish. It takes inspiration from the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault.
dressed. is in Edinburgh as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The British Council’s biennial Edinburgh Showcase is the single biggest opportunity for UK theatre companies to introduce their work to international promoters. The programme comprises new work that represents the very best of contemporary theatre and dance, reflecting the breadth and diversity of British performing arts. The 2019 Edinburgh Showcase takes place between Monday 19-Saturday 24 August 2019.
