Each year, TD Connects commissions a dance artist to lead a series of creative workshops in schools and community groups across Tipperary County, resulting in a collective artistic creation. With a focus on inclusivity, participants are encouraged to freely explore, learn and create in a collaborative environment that supports and enhances their inner creativity.

In 2023, Tipperary Dance is delighted to commission contemporary dancer, teacher and artivist Mia DiChiaro to direct and deliver the TD Connects programme.

UNBOUND Festival is the culmination of this process, including workshops for children led by Selma Daniels, live performances by 3rd and 4th class pupils of Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhurmhan and the Age in Movement ensemble, and dance films ‘TRIBE’ by Alexandre Iseli and Jazmin Chiodi and ‘Meadow’ by Mary Wycherley.

The afternoon will include the launch of Tipperary Dance’s newly commissioned photographic exhibition, MAKING SPACE, a collaboration between the Age in Movement ensemble, photographer Noel Shelley and dance artist Mia DiChiaro.
