Coisceim Dance Company Announces Performance at Roscommon Arts Centre

CoisCéim Dance Theatre presents Swimming with my Mother (stage duet) & Deep End Dance (short dance film)
Roscommon Arts Centre on Tuesday 10th May 8pm

Roscommon Arts Centre is delighted to announce the Bealtaine performance of CoisCéim Dance Company at the arts centre on Tuesday 10th May. This production incorporates two unique events ‘Swimming with my Mother' and ‘Deep End Dance'.

‘Swimming with my Mother' is a stage duet embodying the relationship between a mother and son and their mutual love for swimming and dancing. In this intimate duet, shared pasts intertwine and build gently like a rising tide. Life stories are told with humour to the sultry tones of Nat King Cole.

‘Deep End Dance' features a fully dressed man as he is pushed into a swimming pool by his mother. He brushes himself off and begins dancing underwater, always aware that she's watching. After a while she joins him in the turquoise dappled waters as they perform a playful underwater dance.

Swimming with my Mother played to sold-out houses in Dublin and Paris and was Winner of Best Production Award at the Limerick Unfringed 2011.

Deep End Dance was nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award in 2011 and won Best Short Film at the Boston Irish Film Festival. More information through Roscommon Arts Centre's box office on 090 6625824.
