Firkin Crane Theatre, Cork: Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín Country OK

Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín rehearses Country OK ahead of an autumn tour

Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín and cast including dancers Grace Cuny, Molly Kelly and Sarah Ryan, will embark on a residency period to rehearse Country OK ahead of an Autumn tour to Dance Limerick and Tipperary Dance. Invoking the spirit of dance halls and dancing bodies past and present, Country OK is a rollicking celebration of live performance, featuring live music and a party that invites you to let loose and join in. You’ll be foottapping and hip-twisting to heart-wrenching country songs and the exhilaration of a fleeting moment of dancing together.

Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín’s work is primarily focused on creating dance performances that are deeply connected to place and the communities and creatures that inhabit those places. Siobhán enjoys a collaborative process and has created work with boatbuilders,sean-nós singers, poets andgeologists. She is an avid Country Music fan.
