Live stite specific performance piece developed in Nigal Rolfe’s workshop with the MA in Contemporary Dance Performance UL students, alumni graduates and Limerick College of Art Students week 1, November 2008. This short performance piece lasting 5 minutes uses the sound of tearing kitchen magasine paper echoed in the hall, hidden from the audience and reveals slowly movement generated from the task of the body reaching out to its full stretch and trying to reach beyond, framing edges and marking boundaries.
