For the fourth year, Re-Presenting Ireland will showcase the work of six Irish artists/companies whose work is representative of the diversity and strength of contemporary choreography in Ireland. This programme provides a vital platform for Irish and Ireland-based choreographers to present their work to both local audiences and international presenters, and is key to DDF and Dance Ireland’s support of the development of choreography in Ireland. This year’s programme features work by artists based in the Republic and Northern Ireland. These performances sell out — so book early to avoid disappointment!

Post-show discussions will be held with the Re-Presenting Ireland choreographers at 4pm on Saturday 21 and Saturday 28.

Participating choreographers & companies: Chrysalis Dance, Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company, Bridget Madden, Emma Martin, Liv O’Donoghue and Maria Nilsson Waller.
