Another first for dansfest! We've never showcased Irish dancing before. Colin Dunne is a highly acclaimed, former dancer from Riverdance - The Show, and his performance here includes a big multimedia screen where footage of traditional Irish Step Dance, including him as a child training to be a step dancer will be projected.
But riverdance this is not. Colin will interrogate the style, form and culture of Irish stepdancing in this personal and provocative solo work, peppered with trademark Irish humour where he talks to the screen, addressing his younger self and other dancers. All this while he is zipping across the stage in a blaze of percussive footwork which will then be digitally processed to form a soundscape in real time. Wow. That was a mouthful.
Wit, humour, virtuosic feet, multimedia, speed.. I think it'll be pretty cool.
