Collective release, worlds collide, everybody moves. Explore the 2019 Dubin Dance Festival edition at Project Arts Centre. A world of party, politics and power.

Sharing a mutual admiration for each other’s work, Liz Roche and composer David Coonan have begun a collaboration to create a major new piece for orchestra and dancers in partnership with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

First Looks is a chance to see new works-in-development by dance artists in Ireland including work by Lucia Kickham, Deirdre Griffin with Craig Cox and CoisCéim Dance Theatre

Inventions centres around two extraordinary women: Belfast-based Oona Doherty, one of Europe's most gifted dance artists, and 84-year-old American dance legend Valda Setterfield, winner of a Herald Angel Award for her portrayal of Lear at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017.

DRAFF have teamed up with Dublin Digital Radio (ddr.) to host a night of music by two of Ireland’s most adventurous sound designers for dance and theatre: Kevin Gleeson will make his first appearance as Sour Blood, his new music project peddling drone-haunted pop songs, while Luca Truffarelli will play his alternative deep house set developed during Oona Doherty’s Hope Hunt tour.

DRAFF, the living archive of experimental performance-making, brings three workshops by three boundary-breaking international artists to DDF. Creating work that pushes the limits of what dance can be, these artists mine the full potential of the body. They view the body as a critical site of knowing, as an archive, as multiply intelligent.
