Pro Class with The Parsley Collective

The Parsley Collective, established in 2023, comprises Mary Nunan, Angie Smalis, Rachel Sheil, Salma Ataya and Isabella Oberländer. As well as being members of the collective, they are all independent dance artists working in the fields of choreography, performance, improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, writing and education. Over the last decades, these artists have made a significant contribution to the development of the professional dance community in Limerick. They now hope to use their expertise and the strong connections developed over years with arts and culture organisations and wider communities to increase awareness and participation in dance in Limerick.

The class will begin with a Qi inspired warm-up followed by guided movement explorations based on the z(ero)ing improvisation methods that The Parsleys are evolving together. The atmosphere will be interactive and revolve around the collective-finding approach that is central to what we do.
