DeySed take part in TalkAbout: The Incidental Participation
The Talkabout series will be held annually and is designed to further critical debates, and raise the profile and understanding of collaborative arts as a dynamic contemporary arts practice. Collaborative arts is widely recognised as a practice existing sometimes at the edges of visual art, performance art, theatre, dance, new writing, digital media and the moving image. Create fosters current and future potential for collaboration between artists and communities.
For the first TalkAbout
Incidental Participation is an invitation to artists to test out new ideas and strategies for work they are in the process of developing:
How do you access the city and it’s users as a passing participant?
How do you create a dialogue with a city and its people?
How do you respond to the unique set of challenges, discourses and methodologies that each group of participants brings to the work?

SilentCity performance as part of Project Brand New in the Project Arts Centre (Space Upstairs) 24th July 2009
Project Brand New is a programme which supports artists making work outside of traditional theatre models. Curated and produced by Louise Lowe, Lynnette Moran, Jody O’Neill and Dee Roycroft, and hosted by Project Arts Centre, it offers an opportunity to test out ideas at a developmental stage in an informal environment, where audience feedback and discussion is key. At the heart of this project is the ambition to provide a platform for innovation and experimentation, and work that strives towards the new. Project Brand New will serve as a springboard to push artists and spectators in new directions.
SilentCity
a performance-installation at Market Studios
What happens if you venture out into that stranger space?
Following a period of creative exploration on the streets of Dublin during the "Quiet Hour" between 5-6 am, the DeySed collective are opening their work to the public for one-night as part of the 3 day 'Giva he a Sand Fella Last Day Wild' event at the Market Studios. Drawing upon the group's experimentation in performance creation, film-making, music composition and site-specific soundscape and sculpture, SilentCity offers a fresh and unique vision of Dublin. The Market Studios building is located just off DeySed's base of activity, Capel Street, and the entire space, beginning at the front door and ending on the roof overlooking Dublin, will be brought into action in an innovative and exciting journey into the SilentCity.
