Shapes Of Sleep

Featured in the Arnolfini touring festival, Breathing Space, this piece was devised by Australian artist Deborah Pollard and presented in four UK venues in January 2006. Cuinn was one of the five performers in the version shown at Glasgow's Tramway.

Pollard originally conceived the work as an 8 hour durational work, the performers  reacting to prerecorded instructions of an original sleep 'choreography' for the duration recommended as a good night's sleep. The performance in Tramway was cut to 6 hours for technical reasons.
