Dance performance and films

The Artists Salon is a favourite of our week-long festival, which will provide dance lovers with a great experience. Films and dance works will feature as part of our lively, interactive evening.  Ballet Ireland’s Strokes Through the Tail, along with Fu LE’s Haptonomy will be presented alongside emerging choreographies from Laura Nolan, Aoibhe Carroll, Louise Behan and Ciara Hannon.  Alex Karcakova returns to the festival with a new piece this year.  This show is a must-see with rare pieces not seen before in Ireland, with an exciting trio from Kim Jones (US) performed by Guillaume Lemoine, Laura Rivet and Maria Borrowman.
