An outdoor dance work which is created as Ireland-based company Instant Dissidence travels from Cloughjordan Ecovillage (Ireland) by land and sea to destinations in Cyprus, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and the UK.
For us the slow travel is not merely a way of traversing geography and saving on carbon emissions: we have turned it into the framework for creating the work. Indeed, SlowMo is also a participatory work: the presenting partners in
destination countries will identify people who, whilst residents of that country, have connections to the cities/countries that Instant Dissidence are travelling through to get to them. Maybe these people were born there, or they fell in love there, or they studied there. They will be co-creators of the work, and Instant Dissidence are making the artistic work about their memories of those cities, as we travel through them. SlowMo is choreography as a travelling gift; as a series of embodied travelling postcards.
The final presentation is as an outdoor promenade performance. When mounting the work, we will ‘map’ our travel route directly onto a section of the city, and audiences 'travel our journey', encountering the different dance works/cities as they journey through the work.
We endeavour to embed disability access in the creation of the work.
