Following the
edict implicit in its name, Transfigured has become something
else; has changed; has taken a further step; is embracing the
future.
Transfigured
was and Oceanallover is.
This is an archive
of the original Transfigured web-site and shows the origins
of species.
A desire to promote
intuition and insight in a culture which is losing sight of the
ground supporting them. By making Art that is daring and exploratory;
that looks for another route through the uncharted realms of the
future; that boldly goes; that is not scared to be scared; that
searches for vision without sight; that refuses definition; that
is Art for People's sake; that is a reminder of mortality, of the
need to live; that is an act of generosity; by making Art that is
daring, that generates energy, that can inspire people to feel more,
to live more strongly, to defy gravity for longer.
Transfigured
was formed in 1997 to present Fine-Art and Performance of a
high standard and in a challenging way. The company's first production,
A Language of Others, was shown at Tramway in 1998
and attracted much attention through the bold combination of commissioned
music, sculptural environments and experimental dance.
Transfigured
have continued to maintain a strong sense of purpose and integrity
in their work, actively seeking venues and performance locations
which bring very contemporary Art to a public which does not normally
have access to dance-performance.
Transfigured
played a major role in the creation of the Mid-Summer
Fire Festival as part of Britain's day at the 1998 Expo
in Lisbon. The company has shown work in Germany, Montenegro and
Georgia. Stealing Lead was shown during the summer
of 2001 at the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh and also on the streets
of Presov and Kosice in Slovakia.
