Dances for Inside and Outside

Town Hall Theatre

This show is now over. Please see our full listing for other shows you might enjoy.

Join a thrilling and fast moving dance explosion of 8 stunning dancers from Ireland, Nigeria, France, Poland, and Ethiopia, unleashed in a live performance to celebrate life, athleticism and joy.

A cycle of dances for our times, created by John Scott and the determined dancers of Irish Modern Dance Theatre, Dances for Inside and Outside is a coming together of vastly different, virtuosic dancers, searching for safe space and trying to be together.

They are celebrating life and searching for joy, despite the limitations imposed by Covid-19. Dances for Inside and Outside was made using social distancing and the limits of bodies being together in a space as a movement inspiration.

The work embodies what we have all been through and what our reality is now. There is a vital physicality and necessity in how the dancers interact together, mixing joy and fear and trying to be safe.
