Ghosts of the Past
Kieran will be choreographing for YMT again this year on Ghosts of the Past:
Ghosts of the Past is the sequel to YMT’s vampire musical The Watchers and picks up the story five years on after Jude’s girlfriend Dawn was turned into a vampire and dramatically disappeared from Whitby.
Jude, a University drop out/busker is forced to return home to the pain of the past in Whitby where the town and society’s attitudes to Vampirism have changed beyond all recognition.
Both the Vampire Movement and the Watchers (canines) have bred and evolved and once again humanity is tested to the max. Can he lay the ghosts of his past to rest and move on?A story of love, passion and denial.
“Face your demons, Jude! – can’t you just ignore the ghosts of the past?”

Fallen
Fallen tells the story of Angelique, a refugee who has lost everything she once cherished. Hers is a story of self preservation and how sometimes in order to survive in the present, you must confront the ghosts of the past. Treading a fine line between fantasy and reality Fallen shows us how strange the world looks when you are alone and far from home.
Fallen has been in development since 2008 and was presented as a work in progress during Musical Futures at Greenwich Dance Agency in September which Kieran co-directed with Vicki Amedume. Further development work will be undertaken in 2009.
A full touring version will be ready in the Spring of 2011.
Fallen is made by Upswing for whom Kieran is an associate artist. Upswing takes the approach that serious, everyday and cultural issues can be explored in an entertaining way through circus and that it is important to engage with people on many levels – visually, emotionally, intellectually – to exploit circus’ full potential as an art form. The combination of physical skills and cultural contexts to tell stories is what has helped them garner a formidable reputation both in the UK and overseas.
