Moving Together
The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon, 2nd December 2023
Our third Moving Together event was a day of dance, discussions, and cross arts play in a relaxed, inclusive environment; an opportunity to unwind, explore, and share, and to make new connections in an informal atmosphere.
So much joy, connection and laughter! Thank you to everyone who came along to our event at
The Dock. Such a wonderful group of returning and new participants. My heart is full! Till the next time!

"...warmly facilitated, non-judgmental, inclusive and creatively liberating"
"...a really beautiful moment to both partake in and witness."
"I was always of the opinion that dance wasn’t for me or for people like me.
The Moving Together workshop truly changed my mindset on this."

A live outdoor performance by Natalia Beylis & Robin Roche
A contemplative duet, Aiteall incorporates breath-taking acrobatics and aerial dance in a performance that explores rich musical and movement pathways offered by small openings. Based on the Irish term, Aiteall, this work has developed from explorations of the sensorily rich moments we experience in the openings between rain showers.
Market Yard, Carrick-on-Shannon
22nd September
A tender, powerful and uplifting expression of how, through connection and support, we reach beyond boundaries to expand the world we inhabit.
Landing Places is an exciting new performance that was previewed at The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon earlier this year. It was developed with an exceptional ensemble of dance artists; Gaelin Little (UK), Loveth Oyiboka (IRE & Nigeria), Mintesinot Wolde (IRE & Ethiopia), and dance aerialist and acrobat Robin Wilson (IRE). Other collaborators include sound artist Olivir Haylett (UK).

With a striking theatrical set, reminiscent of Lars von Trier’s ‘Dogville’, the performers explore a delineated world of imposed structures, where uncertainty is set against promise and dark against the light of a safe haven. The narrative unfolds through an exciting fusion of cultural dances from Ethiopia & Nigeria with dance theatre, where the ensemble ultimately express, without guard, the profound necessity to move without limits, & beyond walls.
