Honey & Lemon are multidisciplinary entertainers who bend the expectations of dance for its makers, audiences and participants. Experimenting with movement, voice and film, they use pop culture to create shared understanding in the mystique of contemporary dance.

Founded as a creative partnership in 2020 by artists Millie Daniel-Dempsey and Amy Robyn Lyster, Honey & Lemon was built on a desire to make the work they would like to see and take part in. Their outreach practice is essential to their work, creating opportunities for people to get moving and be more confidently creative. Millie & Amy started working together while training professionally in the UK and have each been developing their own practice in Ireland, the UK and Europe as independent performers, makers and facilitators since then. These wide-ranging experiences have a strong impact on their work today, bringing together influences from collaborations and independent projects across the creative spectrum.

Honey & Lemon are currently Dance Artists in Residence at Mermaid Arts Centre in partnership with Wicklow Arts Office. In 2023-24, they were resident at The Civic Theatre and at Axis Arts Centre in 2022. They were 2023 recipients of the Assemble Bursary from Axis Arts Centre and 2023 Offsite Artists with the support of Irish Theatre Institute and CoisCéim Dance Theatre. They are previous recipients of the Dance Ireland Mentored Residency Award, which began their ongoing relationship with their mentor, Lea Anderson MBE. Their work has been performed at Dancer From the Dance Festival, Five Lamps Arts Festival and Project Arts Centre. Their previous live work, DOUBLE ACT, premiered in 2024 to a sold out run with ★★★★ reviews. Honey & Lemon’s debut work for screen, MARGARET, premiered in 2025 with the support of Mermaid Arts Centre.
