Bobbi Bryne
Professional

She was one of the first professional disabled dancers in the country and was a core member of Counterbalance, Ireland's first Inclusive dance company, for over a decade. She has worked closely with the SMARTlab inclusive design laboratory, codevising and touring in various award winning shows at events such as the Special Olympics and World summit of Innovation.

She has spent several years working in Madrid with Dan Zass inclusive dance company and the Meet Share Dance association.

She is currently an associate artist with Croi Glan.

Bobbi's impairment, a unilateral congenital below elbow difference (UCBED), has made her particularly interested in asymmetry and imbalance. Her practice is based as much in martial arts as traditional dance, but incorporates a strong grounding in Laban fundamentals, release technique and early postmodern dance.
