Borradh by Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín

 During her residency Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín will begin researching a new piece looking at the portrayal and lived embodied experience of women's bodies in  Gaeilge songs and poems over the last 100 years. Siobhán will work with expert collaborators using modern Irish poetry, contemporary dance and music to energise and enliven, through dance, this wealth of literary insight.
