30 November – 5 December / 14 – 18 December
Sarah is an emerging dance artist and has worked professionally as a dancer for the past ten years. She is now exploring her own choreographic voice with elements of traditional Irish Dance and contemporary dance. She hopes to use her period of support in Dance Limerick to develop her practice and journey in creating a symbiotic relationship with musicians and her own movement language. She will work with well renowned musicians Paddy Mulcahy (multi-instrumentalist and electronic musician and composer) and Claire Egan (traditional fiddle player, classical violinist, composer and PhD student at the University of Limerick).
She will also be mentored by highly established dance artists Liz Roche and Sibeal Davitt. At the end of her residency she hopes to show the work she has developed to a small number of people in Dance Limerick. This is the beginning of Sarah’s choreographic journey and she is delighted to be able to use this period of support in her first steps of developing work with an ambition to make lots more work in the future.
