Current Projects
The world of Foulisfair is currently undergoing a transformation...
In the meantime new ventures are being dreamed of, planned and discovered.
Possible future projects involve:
Theatre Laboratory
A long-term commitment to a collective or collaborative practice: building a theatrical language with a group of practitioners who are excited by and dedicated to devising and experimentating - so that the practice for a time becomes a theatre laboratory.
Performance: evenings of a selection of performances from artists working in a range of mediums who are exploring themes, style, form, material and audience-performer relationship in new and interesting ways.

How to Disappear A show that questions... When are we noticed? When are we too noticeable, too present? And when do we become invisible? It must be nice to disappear People disappear when they are abducted, kept as political prisoners, hostages or try very hard to leave their old life behind. Women can disappear when they lose their looks, become mothers, die, become sex-offenders, become 'one of the lads' or perform as glamorous assistants in a vanishing trick... Thinking of becoming absent? When did you last disappear? |

Foulisfair aims to be true to its name:
Nothing is as it seems - don't settle for the superficial answer - be brave enough to turn the leaf over and confront/expose the less palatable side. How often we 'look like the innocent flower' while we are 'the serpent under it'
Acting with duende: 'that mysterious force that everyone feels but no philosopher can explain...Seeking the duende, there is neither map nor discipline. We only know it burns the blood like powdered glass, that it exhausts, rejects all the sweet geometry we understand, that it shatters styles...' Federico Garcia Lorca
Foulisfair is also learning to take its time: 'we would advise you to look for long periods of time for your project. Maybe put it away, forget about it, bring it back years later, finish it after you have become a different person' Goat Island
