TDP Presents '18 International Dance Festival in October
International performer and choreographer, Liz Roche, is just one of the myriad of artists and performers who will be in Tipperary for the International Dance Festival which takes place in various venues from October 8th to 14th. Now in its ninth year, the world-class programme includes appearances by Mariantonia Oliver, Alexandra Waierstall, Holly Small, Luke Murphy, Affari Esteri and of course, The Liz Roche Company: masterclasses, workshops, exhibitions and symposiums and it will put Tipperary at the centre of the dance world for a week in October.

For the second year, TDP will host a Dance and Health event in Nenagh Arts Centre, curated by Dr Orlaith Ni Bhriain linking the worlds of performance, professional artists, researchers and health workers. From Spain, Mariantonia Oliver, will work with older local women to present a performance of Las Muchas (The Many). In the Source Arts Centre in Thurles, Alexandra Waierstall from Germany, will create a physical landscape where movement is woven like a long breath through ever changing relations of sound and silence with his performance of Annna³. Lost Dog from the UK will re-tell the story of the beginning of everything in Paradise Lost, inspired by Milton's poem of the same name, in Tipperary Excel Arts Centre. Affari Esteri from France will also appear in Excel Arts Centre performing Holy, a work inspired by Allen Ginsberg's poem Howl.
