Members’ Forum

Members’ Forum is a new Dance Ireland initiative to support our Members to lead a conversation on a topic of their choice with the professional dance community.

Advocacy is a key strategic priority for Dance Ireland, and central to this is ensuring that there is space for the community to gather and the voices of our Members to be heard. The Members’ Forums will provide this space for collective reflection, discussion, and action from within the sector.

Following an open call for expressions of interest, Dance Ireland is delighted to announce the artists and topics for our Members’ Forums for 2023:

• Lisa Cliffe: 'Dancing into parenthood'- Friday 16 June- further info here
• Cork Dance Initative: 'Let's talk about policies'- Monday 18 Sep- further info to come
• Rita Marcalo: 'Dance & climate change: what can we do as a sector in 2023?'- Friday 1 Dec- further info to come
• Lapree Lala: ' Bridging the gap in dance communities'- further info to come

If you are interested in any of the topics above and want further information on the forums, please get in touch with us on info@danceireland.ie
