About
SINGING WORKSHOP WITH LANDLESS
'Landless' is an A-Cappella quartet made of Ruth Clinton, Meabh Meir, Sinead Lynch and Lily Power, singing Irish, Scottish, English and American traditional songs in close four part harmony since 2013.
Drawing on experimental, improvisational as well as traditional music practices, Landless will guide workshop participants through a session of collective singing and sound-making based on attentive in-situ listening and tuning in.

SEAN-NOS DANCE WORKSHOP WITH JOE MCGUIGGAN
For many years we have championed old style step dancing in the city and this event offers an opportunity for everyone interested in step dancing - not just seasoned dances - to come along, enjoy and participate. Joe’s workshop will include a variety of dances including sean-nós reels.
This workshop is followed by a performance of “Food for the Soul”, a collaborative performance by Mary McGuiggan, Maura Johnson and Paraig O’Brien. The performance explores how Mary’s roots have influenced her dance - as an older woman, a mother, grandmother, community and environmental activist.
