The Floating World Clare Langan’s The Floating World is a multi-screen film which presents a

sensitively poetic message about possible futures and our place in the world.

Shot in three contrasting locations, the viewer is led through haunting and

elegaic landscapes where white ash or snow swirls and settles, prompting

thoughts of a world devasted and beyond habitation. The Floating World

questions the relationship between mankind and the earth.

The Floating World premiered as a single channel projection at the prestigious

KINO DER KUNST 2013 Munich and was awarded the Prix Videoformes 2014

| Conseil Général du Puy de Dôme at VIDEOFORMES 2014, Clermont-Ferrand,

France.

Clare Langan studied Fine Art at the National College of Art and Design,

Dublin and with a Fulbright Scholarship, completed a film workshop at NYU.

She has represented Ireland in numerous international biennales and won

national and international awards for her work. Langan is represented by

Nuala Fenton.

This exhibition is accompanied by a publication with texts by Declan Long,

Art Writer and Course director of the MA Art in the Contemporary World

NCAD, Heinz Peter Schwerfel, Artistic Director of KINO DER KUNST, and a

specially commissioned poem by Kerry Hardie. The exhibition has been kindly

Scotland’s most popular singer-songwriter Isla Grant makes a welcome return

visit to Ireland for the now traditional tour. In the last year she has completed

hugely successful tours of New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK and

once again received a Gold Disc for CD sales. Add this to six Platinum Discs

already received in Ireland and you can see why this ‘Scottish Lass’ is so

popular! Her highly entertaining concert features all of her hit songs.

Back by popular demand, last summer’s production returns for two nights

only! Six Irishmen emigrated to London in the 1970s, planning their triumphant

homecoming as rich men. Twenty five years later, only Jackie returns home – in

a coffin. In the shoddy back room of an Irish centre in Kilburn, the remaining

five gather to mourn him and the loss of unfilled dreams. Cast includes Paddy

Behan, Larry McNally, Kieran Shields, John Hickey and Paul Dunne.

WillFredd Theatre presents The WORLD PREMIERE of

JOCKEY Co-created with Emma O’Kane with support in development

from VISUAL, Carlow.

The Sport of Kings is in the blood. Emma O’Kane has just discovered it.

Emma has danced professionally for 20 years, from Ireland to Russia, en pointe

to pointe*. Now she’s jumping onto a new stage – a racecourse. But she’s not

riding out alone.

Her Damsire** Philip de Burgh O’Brien was a turf journalist in the 1940s-70s.

He died before Emma was born but now his writing lives on. From Philip’s

writing to Emma’s experience of learning to ride a racehorse, JOCKEY explores

the relationship between the dancer, the jockey and the Irish thoroughbred.

Working with jockeys, trainers, physiotherapists, bookmakers and racing

professionals in Ireland’s Thoroughbred counties, developed with support

from VISUAL, WillFredd Theatre bring you JOCKEY, a dance theatre piece which

is the culmination of a year’s collaborative encounters with the Irish Racing

Community.

WillFredd Theatre are VISUAL’s Theatre Company in Residence, supported in

partnership by the Arts Council, the Local Authority Arts Office and VISUAL.
