At the beginning of February this year Dance Limerick hosted: Dance and Climate Action - A Guilt Free Conversation, a panel and workshop led by dance artist Lisa McLoughlin in Ormston House. The event explored the role of artists in climate action and brought together individuals working in dance and the arts in Ireland to discuss their work, and making new work, in relation to one of the biggest threats of our time.

Speakers and guests worked together to create a Dance Climate Manifesto 2020, which imagined a future in which dance creates dynamic and radically creative solutions, and practical steps to a healthier future.

With the sudden onset of the Covid-19 crisis in Ireland in March 2020, it has become apparent that the measures and suggestions outlined in the manifesto (keeping work local, reducing travel, slowing down processes etc.) will be applicable now more than ever in how dance artists will work in the future.

You can download and read the manifesto below.
