Working title: Remedies

Aniela Piasecka will be in residency at Dance Limerick to draw upon several years of engaging with somatic body techniques to begin to create a performance that gives space for chronic pain to exist within a structure that deliberately plays with the attention and perception of both performer and audience. Central to the impetus behind the project is the necessity to consider forms of pain within their social context in the creation of an abstract experiment in moving self-portraiture, seeking to connect outwards. Movement scores and the beginning of a voice-over script will be worked on over the two-week residency.
