Swimming with my Mother

At two years of age, Ireland’s youngest swimming hope takes a lesson from his mother Madge, a swimming coach. Will the water be to David’s liking? Life passes and things change. David teaches Madge a dance. Changing rooms and changing roles. Dance and swimming will unite them onstage for the very first time. DDF is delighted to present this intimate new work in progress from David Bolger, Artistic Director of CoisCéim Dance Theatre. His work has received numerous international awards and has achieved critical acclaim. Madge Bolger has always had a keen interest in dance and last year performed in La Vie en Rose as part of the Bealtaine Festival.

A CORPO LIBERO (FREESTYLE)

“Morphing from hemfiddling wallflower to stageowning siren… a joy from start to finish” Keith Watson, Resolution! Review

A young woman stands in front of us in a short, multicoloured dress. She finds inadequacies in herself, which she constantly attempts to overcome in order to find the freedom to which she aspires. Gribaudi takes an ironic view of the female condition through both the rigidity and fluidity of her body, arriving at a distant femininity and a joyous recognition of her own physical reality. This work by Silvia Gribaudi won the 2009 Giovane Danza D’Autore Veneto competition.

Choreography and performance: Silvia Gribaudi

A CORPO LIBERO is presented as part of Aerowaves, a European network that provides showcasing opportunities for emerging choreographers.
