Updates from The Firkin Crane

 

Firkin Crane Professional Dance Newsletter

Hello everyone, Here at Firkin Crane we're gearing up for a busy summer. We hope you'll join us! Coming up next week: Showing by The Vintage (Cindy Cummings, Jools Gilson and Mary Nunan) 6pm, Saturday 28 May Professional Dance Class 11am, Thursday 26 May with Cindy Cummings, Jools Gilson & Mary Nunan Stay tuned for more updates coming soon. Best wishes, Andrea and all at Firkin Crane   Showing with The Vintage You are invited to join us for an in-person showing at Firkin Crane on Saturday 28 May at 6pm. Presented by The Vintage (Cindy Cummings, Jools Gilson and Mary Nunan), following a residency at Firkin Crane,  they will now open the studio doors to share what they have discovered while revisiting The Secret Project, a work from 1999.  The residency focused on the choreography/texts through collaborative improvisation and the use of voice/poetic text, resulting in the development of a new work called The Vintage, which will speak to the visibility and voice of older dance artists as performers in Ireland. The Secret Project was originally supported in 1999 by the Arts Council, Banff Centre for the Arts (Canada) and ICD (as Firkin Crane was called then). The work toured internationally to critical acclaim.  Using The Secret Project as anchor and provocation, this residency at Firkin Crane, supported by an Arts Council Agility Award, will allow these artists to dive more deeply into the thematic, choreographic and textual ideas and provide a starting point for the development of new processes of making. The residency will focus on the choreography/texts through collaborative improvisation and the use of voice/poetic text, resulting in the development of a new work called The Vintage, which will speak to the visibility and voice of older dance artists as performers in Ireland.   "This dance archive is in us - how might it twinkle and run amok in 2022? We want to wrestle with it, perform it and say it OUT LOUD.  It is our conviction that wise (and perhaps wizened) older women have a bad rap in fairy tales for good reason. We are all kinds of dancing trouble and we’ll be following the twinkling of this wickedry during a one week residency at Firkin Crane." Cindy Cummings, Jools Gilson and Mary Nunan Register to Attend Showing Weekly professional Class | Thursday 26 May The Vintage (AKA Cindy Cummings, Jools Gilson & Mary Nunan) will lead a professional class on Thursday 26 May from 11am - 12.30pm.
