I had the pleasure of once again being in the studio with Laura Macken Dance and her ensemble of talented Irish and international dance artists – Eoin Padraig MacDonnacha, Kate Haughton, Rebecca Lee, Yuilya Prokhorova, Fanni Esterhazy, Pablo von Sternenfels, Anibal dos Santos and Gabriella Basco.

Both pieces, ‘Connections’ and ‘Lift’ are a real visual treat to capture and so diverse in style.

It is really wonderful to see ballet being supported by The Arts Council Ireland and great that a female Irish choreographer is at the helm.

The week ended with a packed studio performance in St. Catherine’s Sports Centre and the exciting news that both pieces will be performed in Projects Arts Centre in November. Well done everyone!
