Jiggery Pockery/Subalina

The Third Person was invited to produce a new work for Park in Progress II. The project ‘Jiggery Pokery/Sublina’ was developed over two weeks with Italian choreographer Mauro Paccagnella, Parisian video artist and musician Stéphane Broc, dancers Ben Fury from Belgium, the Argentinean dancer Ayelen Parolin and a troop of synchronized swimmers.
The location was a large public swimming pool, which backs onto the Injep Park. The nine hundred strong audience sat on the bank over looking 50 meters of curved windows that form the outside arc of the swimming pool. The performance, which lasted 50min, mixed music, dance, a light show and video, utilizing the interior and exterior spaces on view.
(…) Developing a concept, sound track, video, lights and movement in the time afforded was a challenge, however the result was a true collaboration, adopting strengths and ideas from the different people involved. The final work talked a lot about the process and context from which it had been made, layering ideas and movement on top of one another whilst maintaining a comic and close relationship to the audience and the building.
