Asymmetry/Symmetry in Dance Training: Functional Anatomy Perspectives
In this one-hour workshop, participants will learn a series of concise movement sequences based on functional anatomy principles to illuminate our unique experiences of asymmetry and symmetry in the context of dance training and performance. We will utilize a “before and after” approach, observing the effects of these activities on each participant’s current dance practices. The aim of this work is to enhance performance of both improvised and choreographed material.

Dancer from the Dance
This workshop forms part of Irish Modern Dance Theatre's Dancer From The Dance: Festival of Irish Choreography
Curated by revered Irish choreographer John Scott, the festival crosses many national borders, practices, ethnicities and generations. This 3rd edition connects live performance with the incredibly visual artform of dance films and live-streaming, and honours the diversity of Irish choreography from the four corners of the world. The Festival will celebrate live dance, dance films and new works in progress, as well as traditional Irish Céilí dancing.
Dancer From The Dance draws national and international attention to Irish choreographers north and south of the border and from the greater Irish diaspora. Following huge critical success in New York and at home in Dublin in 2019, and last year in 2020, the festival in 2021 aims to celebrate age, gender and the ethnic diversity of Irish dance artists.
DANCER FROM THE DANCE 2021: In collaboration with Dance Ireland, Project Arts Centre, Dance Limerick, Irish Arts Center (New York), Smock Alley Theatre, OntheBoards & Centre Culturel Irlandais
Funders: The Arts Council of Ireland and Dublin City Council.
