International Dance Exchange Programme Dance Ireland / Movement Research NYC

We are delighted to announce Irish dance artists Laura Murphy and Niamh Condron have been selected to participate in the first phase of an exchange to last almost three weeks. It is envisioned that this significant time period will allow both participants a unique opportunity to experience a more in-depth and productive exchange than might otherwise be possible. Arriving in New York City on November 13th and departing on December 4th, Niamh and Laura will engage in the ongoing schedule of classes and festival workshops offered by Movement Research (MR) over that period.

As part of the MRX/Movement Research Exchange in partnership with Dance Ireland and Culture Ireland, Irish and American artists will come together for a public conversation about the comparative life of dance making in Ireland and the U.S. It is recognized that these two cultures continue to influence each other in philosophical and practical terms. Invited panelists will discuss their own personal working histories as well as their take on aesthetic dialogues happening between and within the U.S. and Ireland.

 

The International Exchange Programme with Movement Research NYC is part of the Choreographic Services and Research programme, which concludes with a series of Multi-Disciplinary Exchanges in 2008. The multidisciplinary exchanges are seen as a vehicle of debate and sharing between dance artists and other artists, introducing new inspirational and provocative approaches to dance practice. Including workshops, public discussions and showings, the multidisciplinary exchanges cater for all tastes!
