STEP Up Dance Project 2016 will culminate in the public performance of ‘Snapshot’, a collection of short dance works inspired by the ilk of Muhammed Ali and Marilyn Monroe.
This will take place in Dance Limerick at John’s Square on Wednesday 24 August; note the earlier hour of 6pm for this original new work created by professional dancers in Limerick.
Admission is free and everybody is welcome to the city centre venue, the former Church of St John of the Cross.
Directed by respected choreographer Lea Anderson, ‘Snapshot’ will be performed by young contemporary dancers Millie Daniel-Dempsey, Sibéal Davitt, Lisa Hogan, Emily Kilkenny Roddy and Rachel Sheil.
Limerick Post is told that the show is “inspired by superstars of dance, sport, screen and pop. It is a portfolio performance of short pieces which have emerged from an intense research period, analysing and sampling movement from footage and photos.
“Assuming the role of dance historian, the choreographer and dancers have compiled, collated and confounded source material from iconic figures as diverse as Michael Jackson and Muhammed Ali to Martha Graham and Marilyn Monroe”.
The show will tour immediately to The Cube, at NUI Galway, Firkin Crane in Cork on Friday 26 and DanceHouse in Dublin on Saturday 27
