Revolve & Revolution Vertical Dance Performance

By Nicola Moran

Vertical Dance

Martello Tower, Galway

Red Torc

The Red Torc Performance is an environmental piece, exploring themes of destruction – on both the natural world, and also its impact on us as people. Nicola with a back ground in fine and applied art specialising in jewellery decided to excavate the mining industry and look at exploring concept development through the experimental conversations between body, form and material, initial drawings that adorn the body and then the body in turn informed. Nicola wears a Torc of red ice walking up Grafton Street on a Saturday morning, her ice jewellery melted and dried in rivulets down her body and onto the street. (2020)
