FRAME is a site specific dance production created and performed by Michelle Fagan and Ríonach Ní Néill with film works by Marek Bogacki. The producer for Frame is Richard Wakely. In this new work, multi-award winning architect Michelle Fagan (FKL Architects), choreographer Ríonach Ní Néill and film-maker Marek Bogacki explore the architectural imagination and creative process, reflecting on our experience of the built environment as something made as much of ideas and emotions as of material.

The production is funded by the Arts Council and the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government under the Engaging with Architecture Scheme with support from a range of partners including Project Arts Centre, Dublin; the Office of Public Works; the Architectural Association of Ireland; National Concert Hall; the Irish Architecture Foundation and the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland.

Ciotóg’s Artistic Director, Ríonach Ní Néill, is Galway Dancer in Residence and a member of the Project Arts Centre’s Catalyst Programme. Michelle Fagan is the current President of the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland and Director of FKL Architects. Marek Bogacki is a Polish film maker and director. Richard Wakely is an independent theatre and dance producer and arts consultant who also produces for Junk Ensemble and Sol Picó Dance Company.

Choreographer Fiona Quilligan and film maker Marek Bogacki explore archival material of the Ardnacrusha Shannon Scheme and create a work that reflects the scale and innovation of the project. The dancers bring to light Paper Pylons in a series of movements, film imagery and spoken word.

"The work stems from an early memory. My father catches me running out the door 'Fiona will you roll a few sticks for the fire'. He would often talk to me about his first job as a young engineer on the Shannon hydro-electric scheme in 1925 at Ardnacrusha, Co.Clare. He described the massive scale of the operation, Siemens the contractors, the size of the turbines with hundreds of rivets hammered in by hand. Listening to his voice I imagined the men working on the spiral casings as I rolled the paper.



PAPER PYLONS was made possible with the generous support of the Arts Council of Ireland.
