Ballet Ireland: Bold Moves
Double Bill Featuring:
'Minus 16' by Ohad Naharin
'Lost' by Ludovic Ondiviela
22nd - 30th March 2019
Buy Tickets HERE
Ohad Naharin has been hailed as one of the world’s preeminent contemporary choreographers. As former Artistic Director of Batsheva Dance Company, he guided the company with an adventurous artistic vision and reinvigorated its repertory with his captivating choreography. Featuring an eclectic score ranging from Dean Martin to mambo, techno to traditional Israeli music, Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16 uses improvisation and Naharin’s acclaimed “Gaga” method, a unique movement language that breaks down old habits, pushing the dancers to challenge themselves in new ways.
Lost is by one of Europe’s foremost emerging choreographers and one of Ballet Ireland’s long-standing collaborators, Ludovic Ondiviela. Ondiviela’s fascination with the concept of 'fallen angels' suspended in a permanent state of limbo, led to the work’s exploration of emotions, particularly feelings of guilt and rejection. It is a powerful work, leaving its own imprint on the memory. Ludovic also choreographed Giselle for Ballet Ireland to wide critical and audience acclaim both in Ireland and at the Edinburgh Festival in 2018.
Tickets on sale in the new year. More details to follow.

Dublin Dance Festival and The Ark present a family show for ages 7+ at the O'Reilly Theatre!
Mixing spoken word, hip-hop, classical and contemporary dance, two dancers from different worlds search for ways to understand each other in a humorous game of cat and mouse.
Sharing four cultures between them, Shihya Peng (born in Taiwan and living in Paris) and Marco Di Nardo (born in Naples and living in Berlin) invite young audiences into their story as they find common ground and ways of communicating. With each move, jump or chase, they seek to find a country to live in together, and to live in with others.
Speaking to the young - and the not so young – W.A.M. playfully explores the search for harmony in today’s multicultural world.
