Trauma and Movement: A Viewing into the Creative Process of Soldier Still

Friday 1 December, 12-2pm – The River Room (Lewis Glucksman Gallery, UCC)

Open rehearsal and talk with Q&A

With Megan Kennedy, Jessica Kennedy and Tom Clonan 

Directors and choreographers Jessica & Megan Kennedy, and performer Dr. Tom Clonan (former IDF soldier and Irish Times security analyst), will present an inside view of the rehearsal room of Soldier Still, providing the audience with a unique opportunity to observe creative process, and a glimpse into how choreographers and performers transfer words, experiences, emotions and trauma into movement material. This will be followed by the directors and Tom Clonan talking briefly about the work and process (showing images and video examples of Soldier Still) with a Q&A afterwards with the audience.
