Camille Lucy Ross is a writer and actress and the founder of Brazen Tales Productions. Their play Big Bobby. Little Bobby. runs in the Project Arts Centre from 6 – 9 January.

She tells us what four songs she turns to when she’s feeling down.

Sax – Fleur East

I rarely listen to current pop music but I cannot sit by while this song plays. I think it’s because the first time I heard it I saw Fleur East perform it and loved her dancing so much I just want to dance like her whenever I hear it. It also reminds me of ’70s disco music, which I love.

Heaven Must be Missing an Angel – Tavares

Like I said, I love 70s disco – some great music for dancing and singing along to in a melodramatic manner. Something about ’70s disco feels a bit trippy. Funky, fun, escapism. Your body has to move to this. Well, mine does.

Boum – Charles Trenet

This is one of the jolliest songs there is. It always puts a pep in my step! It transports me to 1930s Paris where I would have been very happy with the fashion. I’m not sure what he’s saying most of the time because my French is terrible but I know it’s about some kind of party and he makes various animal sounds – what more could you want? In case you hadn’t heard of him he’s like the French Frank Sinatra – which, brings me nicely to…

Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread) – Frank Sinatra

This is the kind of relaxed music I could listen to anytime. I like the romance, I like the sentiment- the idea that with matters of the heart we can be a bit foolish but I think it’s always better than following your head too much. Ironically I feel like this song slows me down, I like to imagine myself (once again) in Paris in the 1930s/40s, wearing a beret, drinking red wine, sitting outside a corner cafe, a baguette & string of garlic poking out of the basket on my bicycle beside me, a pile of old books on the table, writing in a beautiful notebook, people watching. Bliss.

Our unique event – Co-Motion, a musical walking experience – takes place on Sunday, January 3 in the National Botanic Gardens in Glassnevin  at 2pm and on January 10 at the same time in St Stephen’s Green.

We’re asking people to come armed with their four-song playlist of “songs that get them through”, a set of earphones and a listening device (phone, ipod, etc). They’ll then be paired up with another randomly selected participant.

While the idea of putting a playlist together is pretty straight forward, the idea of bringing that playlist along to a specific location, pairing up with a like-minded stranger and walking around a park with them as you play your playlist for them while they then play theirs for you, is probably something many of us have never done before.
