Night Dances

Night Dances is a bold series of four dance vignettes created by Emma Martin in collaboration with the performers and pounding music of Daniel Fox (Gilla Band). A ferociously exhilarating performance of pure dance and live music, eschewing hierarchies of style and form, it is an ode to the body and a visceral, sweaty love letter to dance in all its guises.

All That Fall by Samuel Beckett

29 March, Tullow Church, Foxrock, more info here

A special one-off performance of All That Fall will take place in the atmospheric surroundings of Tullow Church, where Beckett worshipped as a boy. The play, which has such a strong resonance of the surrounding area, was described by Beckett as consisting of ‘imprecations from the Brighton Road to Foxrock Station and back […] boyhood memories’, and is located in the village of Boghill, a fictionalised Foxrock, in which Tullow plays a crucial part.
