Tipperary Dance Platform Announces Programme Highlights

Tipperary Dance Platform's ninth edition is curated around the theme of literature and one of the standout events will be a performance by Lost Dog from the UK of Paradise Lost (Lies unopened beside me) which was conceived and directed and will be performed by Lost Dog's co founder, Ben Duke. It will be performed at Excel Arts Centre on Friday, October 12th at 8pm. This is a re-telling of the story of the beginning of everything inspired by Milton's "Paradise Lost," told through words, music, and dance. The work premiered in 2015 and has since toured extensively. It was nominated for a 2016 Sky Academy Arts Award, won the 2017 Rural Touring Award and Ben also won the National Dance Critics Award for Outstanding Male Performance. Lost Dog was formed in 2004 by Ben and Raquel Meseguer to create work using text, movement and music in which dance is framed by stories and characters and Ben Dukes appearance in Tipperary promises to be a highlight of what is an exciting and adventurous week.
