Triptik – new dances for not-so-new people 1/2
Cliodhna Shaffrey, independent arts consultant and curator, in conversation with the creators of Triptik, Fearghus Ó Conchúir, Ríonach Ní Néill and Rebecca Walter. From Dec 15-19 at the Project Arts Centre, Triptik is a unique collaboration, in which the three contemporary choreographers invited people in their 60s and 70s to join in the creation and performance of new works. The outcome is three new dances, created in close collaboration with and performed by a combined company of professional and non-vocational dancers.
In Part One the three choreographers talk about the genesis of Triptik and the way this work challenges preconceptions of who should be on stage, who can make art and who can dance. In Part Two the three choreographers discuss in detail the collaborative process and how it affects the work they create.
Triptik is produced by Ciotóg in association with Project Arts Centre, funded generously by the Arts Council and Dublin City Council, and was inspired by the Bealtaine Festival.Fearghus Ó Conchúir, Ríonach Ní Néill and Rebecca Walter discuss the genesis of Triptik and the way this work challenges preconceptions about dance
