A HIGH-ENERGY dance show is take place in glór this Wednesday during the Mid-Term break.

Described as an exciting, energetic and exhilarating performance, The Galaxy of Occupations heads for Ennis this coming Wednesday (November 2nd) with forty five minute shows at 10:30am and 12:30pm with tickets costing €8.

It is a new production by Carlow based choreographer and dance artist Róisín Whelan inspired by a children’s poem by author and teacher Áine Murray. Presented in Róisín’s signature faced-paced, narrative dance style, audiences can expect a visual and imaginative feast for the senses.

Aimed at 6 – 10-year olds, the show features original sound score by composer Aoife Kavanagh and costumes by designer Claire Smyth. The Galaxy of Occupations premiered at Tipperary Dance International Festival in October and is being performed as part of a national tour of schools, libraries and theatres in Dublin, Ennis, Carlow and Kilkenny.

Commissioned by Tipperary Dance and a Production Commission from Dublin City Council Creative Hubs. Research and development for this production was funded by an Arts Council of Ireland Dance Bursary Award, 2020 and supported by Tipperary Dance Fellowship 2020.
