with 14 artists on the development and presentation of their work both nationally and internationally. The first works are with two dance artists of great talent and international repute who we are presenting in May in the Dublin Dance Festival. While contemporary dance can be perceived as a more difficult art form it is one of my favourites. Dance is one of the most intimate forms in that it conveys concepts, moods and emotions through discrete and subtle gestures. Jean Butlers piece hurry is a mindful, intense piece which considers us as individuals and viewers, the dancer as performer and individual and also plays with issues around memory, place, tradition

and even social expectation. It is a moving, completive piece where Jean’s incredible physicality, precision and skill – razor like – completely holds our attention. I felt completely transfixed and also transformed, in fact at times breathless at her premiere in New York Last week. Cure is Fearghus Ó Conchúir’s new work and this month is in the final stages

It is like an echo, waves of things that seem somehow new and unknown but at the same time instinctively familiar. Cure will premiere in May and I encourage you to attend and let Fearghus take you on a hopeful journey about recovery and survival where he will also contemplate what comes next.

is real. Where it begins and where it ends will be in your hands. Dismantlement by Alan Delmar (IRE) employs opposing forces, tensions and materials as a means of exploding out the politics of the body, showing it to be a volatile site where the conflicts of identity are repeatedly played out. Alan explores how the body becomes a fragmented space, endlessly seeking internal coherence within rigid cultural assignments. Internal Terrains by Natasha Davis (UK) explores life as a choreography of decades, in search of what’s at stake as we

move from one decade to another. Poetic and sensual, the performance plays chords with films and installations, crows, cages and electric shocks. Developed partly in the studio and partly through workshops with local residents, stories are generously shared with Natasha, who translates them into visual metaphors around body, memory and identity.

no-one, a touching interior monologue in which consciousness and subconscious clamp into each other in a never-ending downward spiral. The Best of Scottee comes from live artist, show off, fat drag queen and attention seeker Scottee (UK). Welcome to a world of anti-performance, origami choking, pretend magic, naff storytelling, and stupidity. Scottee has thrown cake at Rihanna on the X Factor and spat milkshake at Nick Grimshaw live on Radio 1, broken limbs and lost 100’s of pairs of high heels in his determination to please his audiences. The Best of Scottee has been devised exclusively for Live Collision International Festival. This will not be performed anywhere else. This is Scottee at the end of being his best.

We Used To Wait by Massive Owl (UK) explores how online communication and technological advances have affected both our experiences of, and relationship with, time and each other. We Used To Wait seeks to give its audience an embodied experience through exploring and provoking questions of what is ‘live’ and what is ‘recorded’ and how these can both be experienced within a live

Gallery 26 April – 22 June 11am – 8pm Admission Free
Curated by Tessa Giblin Garden is a newly commissioned exhibition by Dublin-based artist Niamh O’Malley. Known for her painting and sculptural interventions, and more recently for her explorations of monumental sites, O’Malley will take us into a personal landscape using video and sculpture – the garden which she and her family shape and create with the changing seasons. Featuring a new video installation and a large painting on glass, this landscape will be revealed through screens, mirrors and windows. The video work will show a mirror panning and tilting, reversing the normal flow of light and camera movement, slowly and silently illuminating the garden in an elusive dance. Accompanying the video work and set into a wooden seating platform, a large glass plane will have textures and marks painted on both sides, creating a painting which is visible from both the front and back – a limitless image which complicates ideas of reverse, background, and negative space. You are welcome to join us for the opening of this new exhibition from 6pm – 8pm on Thursday 25 April.
Coffee like no other Coffee of the highest order, coffee that delights: this is illy’s mission, passion and obsession. A simple idea created through complex means: eight decades of experience; unmatched knowledge of coffee biology and chemistry; unrivalled skill at roasting; the pioneering of innovative, enabling technologies; and a family’s entrepreneurial passion. There is a taste, a feel, an aroma that is all illy’s own. Velvety, immediately sweet, delicately balancing floral and fruity notes with caramel, toast and chocolate, naturally fragrant with aromas of almond and honey. You just might hold the sugar, for the very first time. This is balance that comes only from a blend: the singular illy blend of nine highest-order Arabica beans, selected and directly purchased by illy from farms spanning four continents. Each individual bean contributing to a greater whole, for the pleasure of those who appreciate all that coffee can and should be. In the cup, the illy blend becomes a symphony: rich, full, multi-faceted, yet subtle, comprised of immensely talented soloists, each coaxed to their finest performance under the hand of an expert conductor. Food Solutions are the Irish distributors of illy. www.coffee-ireland.com
