Take Off Roundtable Discussion: What Moves you to Make?

This year’s Take Off roundtable discussion, held at Maureen's focuses on the motivation of the artist to make work asking: What is the driving force behind each artist’s creative process? What is important to share with audiences?

Cork-based dance artist Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín will begin by facilitating an informal conversation around this inquiry with the artists who are performing and showing work at Take Off Festival 2025. This will be followed by an open discussion; all who attend are welcome to contribute, question, and share. Suitable for anyone with an interest in dance practice.
