Mosaic in Motion is a celebration of dance and movement. It is the culmination of this year’s Dance Artist in Residence programme.

The event showcases a variety of performance works by dance artists and choreographers from Cork and beyond, bringing together diverse styles and practices all connected by the joy and magic that is dance. Mosaic in Motion is a mixed-bill of poetic, playful, thought-provoking and uplifting performances which invite the audience to smile, loose themselves, marvel, and to be moved.

State of Flux (Helga Deasy / Fish in the Sky)
Inspired by the philosophy of Heraclitus, State of Flux is a poetic exploration of the ever-changing nature of life. Everything is always in motion, as life itself is movement, a current of fleeting experiences and encounters. In these times, dealing with constant change has become the norm. State of Flux explores the idea that navigating uncertainty – as unsettling as it may be – also holds transformative possibilities. It takes solace in the thought that only by letting go and moving forward with the currents of life, by embracing change instead of resisting it, we can experience growth.
Choreographed and directed by Helga Deasy, performed by Sara Hernandez and Yumi Lee with original composition and live music by Justin Grounds and lighting design by Tim Feehily, produced by Eoin Ó hAnnracháin and Helga Deasy.
