Nach returns to Dublin for Navigate Residency
After exceptional performances from the queen of Krump at DDF2024, Nach returns to Dublin for two weeks of development as part of the Navigate International Residency.
An exciting bilateral artist residency initiative between DDF and Maison de la Danse/La Biennale de Lyon, the Navigate programme offers opportunities for dance artists from diverse cultural backgrounds and informal, self-taught training to develop their choreographic language.
Earlier this year, leading Irish talent Mufutau Yusuf spent a three-week residency at Maison de la Danse in Lyon, France, accompanied by three collaborators: dancer-choreographer Lucas Katangila, and creatives Alison Brown and Mick Donohue. During this time, he developed the choreography for his latest work Impasse which premiered at DDF2024 in May at Project Arts Centre.
Now, Nach has returned to Dublin along with Tibo Gebert, Adelaïde Desseauve and Yumi Fujitani to expand on her work and develop new choreographic languages through this residency exchange.
Having wowed audiences in her solo Cellule, we are excited to see what emerges from this residency and to watch the sensational talent of this young artists flourish.
Listen to what Mufutau and Nach have to say about the experience of this residency so far...
The Navigate International Residency programme is supported by The Arts Council's International Residency Initiative Scheme.
