Director Laura Murphy presents a selection of portraits from ‘Dance Stories’, a multi-media portfolio project. These intimate portraits challenge conventional views on dance and success, revealing unspoken values that are often difficult to articulate and easy to forget, and creating a living archive of untold stories of dance.

The portraits were made in collaboration with filmmaker Pato Cassinoni, animator Alan Early and composer Irene Buckley. The portraits in this selection include Alicia Christofi Walshe, Finola Cronin, Katherine O'Malley and Mary Nunan.

Catríona Fallon, co-founder of Green Arts Initiative in Ireland, presents an analysis of the carbon footprint of Tipperary Dance’s key activities, along with practical steps and solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of these activities.

This is part of Tipperary Dance’s commitment to assess and reduce its carbon footprint in line with government public policy.

A session of roundtables in which international/national programmers and artists will spend quality time getting to know each other.

In the wake of Tipperary Dance’s recent internationalisation platforms, this is a new opportunity for Ireland-based dance artists to meet in person with international/national programmers, create new work relationships or deepen existing bonds. This event continues Tipperary Dance’s commitment to increase the international visibility of Irish artists, anchor Ireland on the international dance scene and create new avenues for international collaborations.
