Seven and a half.
Research and development or an inter-generational dance work.
Rita is me, and Jorge is my seven year old nephew. I’m seven and a half! – he says, as I read this to him. So let me start again. Rita is me and Jorge is my seven and a half year old nephew.

Bio
Instant Dissidence is an Ireland-based company directed by me, Rita Marcalo. It is my way of bringing different artists together, in different combinations, to realise different ideas: through Instant Dissidence I invent ways of offering other people art experiences. My practice began in dance/choreography but eventually I became more interested in communicating concepts than in sticking to a particular art form. I began collaborating with others to create work in different media, and today I bring in people from different areas to solve creative problems. Instant Dissidence’s is also a socially-engaged practice where the company foregrounds the role that dance/choreography can play as a social engine: we are ‘artivists’ who believe in the power of connecting art and social consciousness.
