Butter Nights, a shared performance platform is an evening designed to exchange ideas, movement and food between artists based in Cork and adjoining counties. This is a unique opportunity to see new movement works or re-designed performance pieces from the five artists: Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín, Natasha Bourke, Gracie Marshall, Rachel Ní Bhraonáin and Lisa Cahill. The night will be an opportunity to catch up with colleagues and meet with other artists and members of the public over dinner.

Butter nights is made possible by the support of Firkin Crane providing 70 hours of free studio time to create the works as well as technical and design support from the Firkin Crane Dance Team of specialists.

This inaugural event is supported by the Per Cent for Arts Scheme in connection with the publicly funded refurbishment project Re-Imagining Firkin Crane.

Tochail

Lay me down in the dark soil that’s sticky and damp. Lay me in the loam. Lay me under a blanket of leaves, west of here. In Tochail, Cork-based dance artist Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín begins to excavate some of the intricacies of land and ownership asking: Who owns whom?

 Siobhán, who’s own work primarily focuses on place-based and site-specific work manifesting in film and live performance is Dance Artist-In-Residence at Ionad Cultúrtha, Ballyvourney, Co. Cork. She is working with Cork-based ongoing collaborator, percussionist and drummer Solamh Kelly.

Time’s Away

Loosely based on a previous short work Time Away, Natasha Bourke draws from different strands of her practice including movement, harness work, live sound and light/projection.

Natasha, a Cork-based interdisciplinary artist of Irish/Dutch descent, has an extensive movement, aerial and performance background. She has invited multimedia artists Mick O’Shea, visual artist Irene Murphy and musician/composer James Fortune.

Fling

A short period of enjoyment or wild behaviour. Combining circus hula hoop skills with movement based acrobatics, Gracie Marshall explores the two meanings, investigating the literal sense of the word, as well as the deeper meaning, exploring the dynamics of the relationship between two personas and the hula hoops.

Gracie, a circus artist from West Cork has travelled far and wide to learn from the best teachers. She combined all these styles into her own unique hula hoop salad. She pairs with Spanish acrobat Cristian Fierro, who following 6 years of training started the company Cirque du platzak which he has been touring for the past 8 years.

Losing Your Body

How far can the body be pushed before it pushes back? Through a lens of neuroscience and personal experience, Rachel Ní Bhraonáin uses dance, spoken word and aerial harness to try to explain what words alone cannot.

Rachel, a dance and circus artist from Waterford has trained and worked in London for 7 years and now specialises in vertical dance (harness). She teams with dance artist Robyn Byrne from Mullingar who trained at NCSD in Leeds.

Unfolding part 3

Lisa Cahill returns to a performance work she created and presented during a residency at Maynooth University (2014 – 16). She will further develop this piece by using writing, authentic movement practice and the engagement with everyday objects to create movement structures.

Lisa, a contemporary dance artist, movement facilitator and educator, is a participating artist on the primary schools artist-in-residence programme “Virtually There”. She has worked in partnership with Scoil Bernadette in Montenotte for the past 3 years in the development of a creative dance programme.

Cork School of Dance proudly presents their enchanting Christmas fairytale, Beauty and the Beast, The Teapot’s Tale.

A handsome young prince and his castle’s servants fall under the spell of a wicked enchantress, who turns him into a beast until he learns to love and be loved again in return.

With the help of his enchanted servants, Mrs Potts, Lumiere, Babette, Cogsworth and the delightful little Chip, Belle begins to draw the coldhearted Beast from his isolation and helps him to love again.

The role of The Beast is danced by the charming and talented Oscar Humphreys while Belle is danced by the beautiful Eve Waterstone . Mrs Potts is danced by Ella Burke, Lumiere by Leah Savage, Babette by Kate Sampson, Cogsworth by Chloe Riordan and Chip is danced by the delightful Leigh Kelleher.

The Performers Academy proudly presents the magical story of ‘Enchanted’

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Andalasia, a beautiful young maiden named Giselle lives in a cottage in the forest. But before she can marry the dashing Prince Edward, Giselle is sent tumbling down a magical well by the evil Queen Narissa ,who is envious of Giselle, – and finds herself in the non-animated, extremely disenchanted world of modern-day New York City. There, she befriends Morgan and her father, Robert, who isn’t so sure that her prince is coming to rescue her. Giselle’s spontaneous singing and fairy-tale demeanour enchant everyone around her as she waits for Prince Edward. But she’s about to discover that love in the real world isn’t always as easy as sharing a single True Love’s Kiss – and that she’ll need courage, charm and maybe just a little enchantment if she’s ever going to find her own happily-ever-after.

A beautiful tale of Love and adventure
