This two-day symposium is a collaboration between Tipperary Dance and the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick.

2021 arrived in a context of global threat to physical health, reduced mobility, reduced access to venues and performances, and institutionally prescribed physical distancing from peers, friends and families. Considering these factors, this year’s symposium, in partnership with University of Limerick, creates opportunities for exploring the significance of corporality and physical interaction in social spaces by positioning dance as a means of reflection and a call to action.
