Everything Falls – Brokentalkers & Shaun Dunne

By News, Whats On

We’ve been thinking a lot about care. The word. Its meaning. It’s a noun but it’s also a verb. It’s a feeling we have, and it’s something we perform. Caring can be an act of love, but sometimes it can be an obligation. Why do some of us care more than others? What would happen if we were to stop? Care can be costly but without it, everything falls.

Inspired by a series of interviews with people who have a lived experience of family care. Everything Falls is a thought-provoking, contemporary performance that blends choreography, original song and documentary material, taking us into the hearts, minds and homes of family carers and the loved ones they care for.

In this exciting new theatre production two of the most exciting voices in Irish theatre Brokentalkers (Masterclass, Bellow) & Shaun Dunne (This Solution, Rapids) collaborate to present an honest and timely exploration of the role care plays in our lives.

Calling Male Dancers

By News

Brokentalkers and Shaun Dunne are seeking a highly skilled male dancer for our upcoming collaboration in Dublin, Ireland, featuring movement direction by Eddie Kay. 

Performer must be available September 16th – November 27th

Playing age 25 – 40

To apply please send the following to mail@brokentalkers.ie by August 7th.

  • CV & Photo
  • Video where you introduce yourself, tell us where you are from & where you are based.
  • Video of your dance – see prompt below.

Prompt:

Express the word ‘care’ through your body in a 2 – 3 min movement score.
Care can take many forms, caring for someone else, caring for yourself, caring about a cause.
Care can be both stabilising and destabilising.
Care tasks are often repeated, the journey is ongoing, incomplete.

As you are developing your score think about these words:

  1. Care
  2. Stability
  3. Instability
  4. Completion
  5. Incompletion

Play with levels, but keep the majority of the score on its feet.

Deadline for applications August 7th, 6pm.
