As prt of the PL:ay festival...
"Our through line is thin. Thin enough to be passed through a hole in your ear, thin enough to floss your teeth with and yet this is the fibre we dangle upon."
'To Begin Where I Am, Mokado' explores the intensities of seperation, loss and longing - the difficulties of saying goodbye, the uncertainties of being parted and the confusion of being reunited.
"When we can't touch, words are all we have and words fail us."
"What shade of blue is longing?"
"So we'll dance and we'll do, we will listen and venture outside. I hate to watch you go, but I love to watch you leave."
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Neil Callaghan and Simone Kenyon's work explores intimacy and distance, arrivals and departures, intensity and longing.They are attracted to the idea of making work over long periods of time, and see performances or events as markers along the journey of an ongoing and constant process, a living organism, always open to change.
Neil and Simone are both company members of Deer Park and associate artists of Uninvited Guests.
Neil is a founding member of 'propeller', a company set up to explore ideas around ecology, perception and orientation. Simone is a co-director of Brief Magnetics whose latest site project was to dance the Pennine Way, as a 270mile choreographic score.
