Take Off Festival 2023
Grab your seats as we Take Off with Dance Cork Firkin Crane’s new festival.
Take Off is an exciting contemporary festival for Cork City, celebrating and showcasing thrilling dance artists from Ireland and Europe. The festival takes place 16-18 February 2023 at Dance Cork Firkin Crane. Take Off presents three international choreographers’ works, chosen from the Aerowaves Twenty22 selected artists. They will be presented on shared programmes alongside the work of three Irish choreographers.
The six choreographers will gather in Cork throughout the week to share their practice with each other. Each performance will be followed by a Q&A and a reception with the artists to deepen audiences’ engagement with the work. The Take Off Festival will introduce the artists to each other and to our audiences, not just in the studio and onstage, but also in informal social gatherings.
Tickets are €15 / €12 per programme, or €30 for a Festival Pass for all 3 programmes. The Festival Pass discount is automatically added to your cart after Programmes 1, 2 & 3 are added.
