Diverse double dance bill at the Firkin

Croí Glan presents an evening of two brand new, contrasting duets that celebrate diverse dancing bodies. 'Visible and Invisible' and 'Too', will feature as a double bill collaboration between disable and non-disbled dancers. 

Founded in 2006, Croí Glan is a professional dance company based in Cork. The company produce innovative, engaging, high calibre productions with disabled and non-disabled dancers to highlight the value of diverse bodies in creating performance. The group was nominated for Best Performance Ensemble at the Dublin Fringe in 2012 and 2016.

'Visible and Invisible' was choreographed by John Scott for Croí Glan Co-Artistic Director, Linda Fearon.

Guest performer Rebecca Reilly is accompanied by a new music commission from composer Tom Lane, based on Latin plainchant. 'Visible and Invisible' is a physical and aural narrative of travel, migration and change.

The second work in the programme, 'Too', was choreographed by Croí Glan Co-Artistic Director Tara Brandel, for herself and Linda Fearon. The piece asks: ‘How are we treated as female dancers? What are our experiences? How is difference navigated? What does it mean to be seen? And who are we dancing for?’ Drawing on the personal experiences of the two women and the reflections of a wider group of female dancers, this brave new duet delves into the deep and complex territory of gender experience.

The double bill takes place in the Firkin Crane on Friday 18 October at 8pm. Tickets are available on firkincrane.ie or at 021-4507487.
