Moving through and around is an exhibition by Helena Hamilton, Aoife McGrath, Sorca McGrath, and Simon Mills in collaboration with 8 dancers working across the rural border regions of Cavan, Fermanagh-Omagh and Monaghan: Ruth Clarke, Marion Crowe, Jamie Fagan, Jessie Keenan, Tina McGurren, Rebeca Sanchez, Aysha Treanor, and Dylan Quinn. The exhibition is touring in a variety of locations throughout Ireland.
“…arms up, and swing”
The exhibition invites you to experience the diverse range of dance practiced in this border region through sculpture, sound, video, photography, drawings, and movement capture.
“…and sink and step”
Taking inspiration from the unique geological landscapes formed by the movement of water through and around rocks above and beneath the territorial border, the exhibition celebrates connections between people and place forged through dance; honouring embodied sharing of movement and cultures.
“…walk, walk, walk, turn”
From Sean-Nós, hip-hop, Flamenco and set dancing, to contemporary, Scottish Country, jiving and line-dancing, the exhibition shares personal, affective, interrelational, and location-specific experiences of dance is practiced, shared, and valued.
