Pushing Yourself Beyond what you Thought was Possible

Karla Shacklock talks through Beyond, her first production since running Precarious

“I am incredibly excited about the new work; Beyond. It's my first production since I was running Precarious and so for me this is pretty huge. The piece is part of an incredibly inspiring research project called Going Beyond that I anticipate is going to develop massively over the next year or so. I can’t tell you how excited I am about the discoveries we are making and what we think is a pretty boundary blurring piece of work. It’s very hard to try to define what the work is, not very helpful for marketing purposes I know, but very exciting in terms of our research. I’m not sure if it's dance, physical theatre, live art, performance art, or something completely new. I’m not sure if I’m the choreographer, the director, the facilitator, or the captain.


I think that Beyond is an explosion, a raw exploration into what happens when you push yourself beyond what you thought possible. It’s about stripping yourself bare and going into the deepest nether regions of your own consciousness, of your own self, and truthfully and authentically performing that experience. It’s an unknown adventure, it’s going somewhere, it’s going beyond.”

Nobody and Beyond plays tomorrow for one night only at Circomedia.

Architect Bodies as Forms of Physical Matter

International choreographers and dancers, Lucie Petrusova and Karla Shacklock, are intent on challenging the norms of physical performance and have been working across countries to present this boundary blurring double bill - Nobody and Beyond. Combining cutting edge costume design, high octane raw performance and live composition, the two new works architect bodies as forms of physical matter and delve deep into the humanity of self, to go far beyond what we thought physically and vocally possible. Here is a little trailer of the productions:

Nobody / Beyond

Petrusova & Shacklock
8pm, Tuesday 10th May 2011 @ Circomedia

Festival favourite Circomedia is the beautiful setting for this new piece by award-winning choreographers and dancers Lucie Petrusova (formerly of T.R.A.S.H) and Karla Shacklock (formerly of Precarious).


Whilst in residence in various theatres in the UK and the Netherlands earlier this year, Lucie and Karla have brought together an extraordinary cross-discipline ensemble, intent on pushing at the norms of physical performance. The result is ‘Nobody’ and ‘Beyond’ an explosive double bill which fuses dance, costume design and live composition in a visceral sculptural landscape.
