The Firkin Crane

Nerida Matthaei & Nicole Canham

08 Aug 2011 - 26 Aug 2011
1.00 pm
Tickets: €Free Awarding-winning Australian artist Nerida will lead a first stage creative development exploring the 1925 text “Don’t’s for Dancers” through a collaborative process incorporating new dance and music with her partner. Nicole is a performing artist and artistic director whose work explores the understanding and interpretation of music and the place the arts hold in people’s lives.
This original work offers interesting commentary on the social conventions of that time, reflecting quite a rigid, supressive attitude towards what many regard as an enjoyable and carefree kind of past time by today’s standards.
