Trinity College

Residency at Trinity College Dublin

In April 2018, Anna Furse was invited on a Residency at Trinity College Dublin, by Dr. Nicholas Johnson, Assistant Professor of Drama at the Samuel Beckett Centre, School of Creative Arts. This Residency was part of the Constellation Series at the Long Room Hub and was connected to a presentation of the live performance at the Beckett Theatre as well as a workshop for post-graduates. The Residency was funded by Provost’s Fund for the Visual and Performing Arts and the Wellcome funded ISSF Neurohumanities Public Lecture Series. Furse gave a long talk at the Long Room Hub (recorded) a workshop Interiority: Writing the Body, and a sell-out public performance, without the live musician or original set.

Interiority: Writing the Body

“The first and main thing that comes to mind when looking back on this workshop was the deep connection between theatre and life. I came in expecting a movement workshop, but I left full of philosophical ideas, particularly related to post-humanism. The workshop clearly facilitated a connection between body and art, and I felt it especially in hearing the poems that we wrote.

Finally, we spent much time on exercises engaging us to be more aware of the body. We began itchy and uncomfortable and after just minutes of tai chi exercises, we felt relaxed and centered.”
