Live Collision comes back to fringe with a bang! After a successful first outing in the festival in 2009, Live Collision brings more exciting radical work to Ireland from three diverse international artists. International companies perform by night and collaborate with their Irish counterparts by day, exploring a cross pollination of ideas, art forms and cultural landscapes.
“The sleeper hit last year’s festival” Róise Goan, Festival Director.
Live Collision is a programme of work that provides a platform for international artists/theatre makers to present their work in Ireland while also introducing them to other Irish artists who they have the opportunity to collaborate with. Each of the international artists will present their work by night and they will work in residence with an Irish artist they have been teamed with in daytime rehearsals. They will then present the new work and seeds of ideas worked on with their Irish counterparts in an invitation only sharing/’Scratch’ performance on 16th August Sept at The LAB, Foley Street. Dublin 1.
Lynnette Moran, the founder and producer of Live Collision is supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation (UK) to explore new models of making and showing work in Ireland. Lynnette has become the first Irish based producer/artist to receive support from the foundation outside of the UK for the second year running. Live Collision’s primary objective is to open an active engagement where artists can share an understanding of Ireland‘s cultural landscape and provide a creative space for cross-cultural conversation amongst the visiting and resident artists taking part.

My Husband Is A Spaceman by Kazuko Hohki
LIVE COLLISION - Kazuko Hohki - My Husband Is A Spaceman
A multi-media solo show, this is the third part of an absorbing trilogy from an incredible live artist. A Japanese office lady is content with her single lifestyle until she encounters Robin, an English University fellow, in Tokyo. They fall in love, get married, and move to England. But married life is not what Robin expects and the eccentric Englishman takes to locking himself in a room upstairs every night. Derived from an old Japanese folk tale of love between a peasant and a crane, this is a love story loosely based on Kazuko’s experience of a cross-cultural relationship, loneliness and how to survive it.
One of the most personal and affecting performers you are ever likely to see.
Kazuko Hohki is a Duckie Associate Artist
LIVE COLLISION - Stacy Makishi - There's A Whole In My Heart That Goes All The Way To China
Mining the mysterious caverns of the human heart, this is an extraordinary live art multimedia piece. Combining visuals, movement and text, it is made up of many parts about holes that ultimately leaves one feeling whole. Carl Jung said, “I would rather be whole than be good”. This work digs down deep into the depths of loneliness and shame, but even in its darkest moments, the canary still sings.
Stacy Makishi is an Artsadmin Associate Artist.
LIVE COLLISION - Matthew Morris - My Body Travels
Matthew P. Morris is exploring a new adventure. He’s hitching his heels high and daring to redress his first solo piece. A ‘he’ who transforms to ‘she’ in order to walk the wild side of a lopsided reality of assumed identity, he’s treading bare a silent world of desirable loneliness before finally surrendering to the natural order of serenity. A cycle of events; moments in time unravel unexpectedly to reveal where paths cross and people change our lives, often unsettling the ground beneath us.
Shake it like a milkshake, moves that’ll groove … all creamy and dreamy. A song might be sung. The dance will be danced. And please for a moment let there be quiet…
VIRTUAL JUKEBOX - mouth to mouth
Globally dispersed performers (mouth to mouth) separated by time zones, land and sea come together to dance to a unique playlist made up entirely of personal dedications.
mouth to mouth invite the audience to select songs from the playlist they would like to listen and dance to – triggering both virtual and real performers and revealing personal dedications. It’s a chance for all involved to jump in and share a moment in time.
Members of mouth to mouth | international performance collective, through a live web link, will take part in an intimate dance off; gestures and dance moves will be shared, embodied, and passed on in both live and virtual spaces.

Without a trained dancer in sight, this is more about random responses and endurance rather than skill.
Virtual Jukebox was originally performed as part of Now and Then at Gallery North (UK) as part of the Wunderbar Festival.
