Work - IRA BRAND

RUNNER

A performance about running and exhaustion. A woman is running outside the theatre. Setting a pace, covering distance, breaking a sweat. Working hard, and being good.

Commitment Phobe

A dedication to doubt in a world that values certainty. An experiment in not knowing, in not choosing, and in what it might mean to not ‘take a position’ as a political choice.

like the party has been cancelled

A collage performance of cut up bodies, grafted animals, half landscapes, recomposed histories. A show about wanting to build new things with old shit.

Run Club

A remote audio performance for one person at a time in which you accompany the performer on a run through the city.

The practice of emptying space

A meditation on fighting, empty space, and absent bodies.

Ways To Submit

A show about dominance and submission. A fantasy, a game, a dialogue, a performance, a fight: a series of duets in which power is at work.

Break Yourself

A show about the relationship between gender, power and desire, about what it means to want to be someone else, and about Bruce Springsteen.

Be Gentle With Me

A show about notions of 'health' and 'illness', the nature of pain, and our bodies as changing, fluctuating, things.

The Nearest Exit

A piece about flight, about aeroplane disasters, about departure and arrival – and about only having two minutes left to live.

A Cure for Ageing

A show about age and ageing. About numbers, years, the passing of time, and the fact that we have all, already, started dying.

put your sweet hand in mine

An intimate show by Ira Brand and Andy Field about love, about landscapes and thunderstorms and wildly flocking birds.

Keine Angst

A piece about fear, about what it feels like and means to be afraid and, most importantly, about how to be brave.
