Dance Uncovered (sensational) by Philip Connaughton
Site Specific Community Project in collaboration with FGU – Dublin 8
Coming in June 2021.
Over 4 weeks in June 2021, Philip Connaughton will lead a site specific project with participants from Fatima Groups United (FGU). Philip has revisited his work Dance Uncovered (sensational) from 2015, to include film and outdoor ‘walk and talk’ tours, along with interactive digital maps, covering 12 sites in Dublin 8.
Dance Uncovered (sensational) is a roller coaster performative lecture about pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about contemporary dance as an art form and how to go about understanding what you’re seeing. Delving into his own career as an example, he will bare his soul with anecdotes, movement and humour to explain his own shift from figurative to abstract dance – and why it’s not so weird.
