SET for November 19 to 22, Dance Limerick at John’s Square will again be host and hub for Light Moves Festival of Screendance film, operating out of various venues.
Much detail was announced at a launch last week, accenting highlights such as the European premiere of 24 Frames Per Second, a multi-arts commission by Carriageworks, Australia’s leading contemporary arts centre; a special screening of performance artist Matthew Barney’s Drawing Restraint 9.
Look forward to 55 works in all by 92 national and international screendance artists, a symposium and lab, and children’s workshops.
It’s a tribute to Limerick resourcefulness channelled through Dance Limerick in partnership with Digital Media and Arts Research Centre (DMARC at UL) that Light Moves is the country’s only festival dedicated to dance on film and video art, with movement as central theme.
For a second year, Jurgen Simpson with Mary Wycherley are curators. See www.lightmoves.ie for more.
