 Irish moves: an illustrated history of dance and physical theatre in Ireland.
Author: Mulrooney, Deirdre Published: 2006 Irish Moves explores and celebrates the history of dance in Ireland, showcasing, and in some cases salvaging, the stories of Ireland's unsung movers: actors, dancers, choreographers, playwrights, directors. It describes in their own voices the creative journeys taken by Ninette de Valois, Colin Dunne, Jean Butler, David Bolger, Tom Hickey, John Scott, Joan Denise Moriarty, and many more - artists who have devoted their lives to physical expression, despite the fact that in Ireland their medium was largely ignored, and in some cases erased from memory. |
