DANCE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PERCOLATE PROGRAMME OCTOBER

During the month of October Dance Limerick will host 3 residencies as part of the Percolate programme. Working between the church and studio venue these dance artists will develop their own projects in a progressive and supportive environment. 2-13 October Agnese Lanza and Julie Havelund-Willett | Inter Pares Project Inter Pares Project is an international choreographic research collaboration between Agnese Lanza and Julie Havelund-Willett. They are investigating the activity of learning through various channels and formats, and what remains in the body and focus after these explorations. 9-20 October Maija Nurmio, Saskia Oidtmann and Mark Carberry | Physically Speaking ‘Our way of moving is like a fingerprint of our identity, it shows different facets of who we are. Our body and thus the movement of our body is part of our character, our personality, our being. The event of movement shows our physical self.’ With ‘’Physically Speaking” Maji, Saskia and Mark want to awaken themselves and other people from their bodily slumber and redirect the focus on the width of expression that the body offers us and make that an accessible place. 16-27 October Fu Le | Co-Pulation ‘Two bare beings stand up. It is the next day. The stage is unmade, covered with a carpet of ropes that, over knots and doubts, unroll under their feet. Two beings who, through a rhythmic and mimetic dance, try to remember, multiply the movements, tangle in their arms. Two beings of obsession, who try to translate the truth while fleeing from it, camouflaging themselves but they reflect each other’. *Dance Limerick’s Artist Residency Programme was re-named “Percolate” in January 2017 to reflect the sense of an idea that is brewing, developing or simmering and which can be brought to its next stage through a focused residency period. Residencies are open to national and international dance artists for a period of two weeks.
