This production needs to be situated in an outdoor site, with reference to its urban surroundings. It is for and of ‘the street’ of the city. Possible sites are ones that reference the past/present of the modern city; old car parks, laneways, under bridges, abandoned sites. Although one of the pieces has no sound requirements the second piece requires a level of quietness to hear the actors speak. An installation of the site chosen will be created in relation to the specific city.

Venue
Site-specific, traditional theatre, or large gallery warehouse 

Audience Capacity
30–180 dependant on the site/venue

This production can be placed inside an old historic building, that is not being lived in; three separate rooms are ideal, one with a large window. 
It can also be installed within one large space, which can be divided in to three viewing sites, much as in an art gallery of sorts.
It can also be presented in a traditional theatre space, with seating organised accordingly. 

Video projection is used in this piece along with specific props, the architecture and light of the specific spaces chosen and  the movement and sound recording of the actor, Raymond Keane.

The sound is all pre-recorded.

This production can be placed in an old abandoned school, factory, institutional building, or in a traditional theatre space. Once again within the ideal space there  would be three separate performance sites, the audience moving through the space to view them. It uses video projection, live and pre-recorded voice and sculpted chairs as part of the mise-en-scene, along with the three actresses live performance. There is also an installation projected onto the walls of the site chosen. 

When presented in the theatre this multi-layered aspect is created through the use of scrims, back and front and a performance site between them.

This production is for the theatre space. It suits a black box scenario with an audience of  between 180-250. Full masking is essential for the piece as the projections and lights are operating on black surfaces. All details available on request. The production uses the projection of text, live and pre-recorded text, the use of a sculptural figure and the solo performer Raymond Keane.
