Féile na Bealtaine marks the first ever performance by Teac Damsa at An Ghlaise Bheag
From an Ireland in the 1970s to the present day, How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons is a dance and theatre, music ritual that bends boundaries between what is lived and what is remembered, between history, destiny, fact and fantasy.
Seó a tháinig ar an saol ag Féile na Bealtaine, is é seo an chéad taispeántas proifisiunta ag Teac Damsa ina bhaile nua sa Ghlaise Beag.
Scríofa agus córagrafaithe ag Michael Keegan Dolan, déanann Adam Silverman agus an rinceoir Rachel Poirier é a stiúadh.
Following the debut at The Dublin Theatre Festival and The Galway International Arts Festival in 2022 it has become a world wide success at New York’s St Ann’s Warehouse; the Theatre de la Ville in Paris; Cervantino Festival, Mexico; and the Teatro del Canal in Madrid.
How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons travels down a rabbit hole of nationality, identity, xenophobia, ancestor worship, shame, death, defiance, love and dance.
How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons is a powerful coming of age work that is both playful, provoking and deadly serious.
Every Night & every Morn
Some to Misery are Born
Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet delight
Some are Born to sweet delight
Some are Born to Endless Night
William Blake (1757 – 1827)
