Francis Footwork

This event has ended

Pavilion Theatre, Friday 8th November - Saturday 9th November

From the company that brought you the international, award-winning hit The Wolf and Peter comes a magical, empowering new tale from David Bolger that celebrates individuality and encourages everyone to dance their own dance.

Once upon a dance floor…in a kingdom not so far away, lived Francis Footwork.

Francis Footwork is no ordinary girl – she is an extraordinary dancer. When young King Two Lefties ascends to the throne, he is convinced by trusted adviser Colonel Headbanger to rule the land with an iron fist. He wants to end all dancing.

“Dancing is like dreaming with your feet. Colonel Headbanger doesn’t like dreams as they can give people ideas. People with ideas can be dangerous.”

So Francis and her friends come together to teach him a dance lesson he will never forget!

The production is the perfect introduction for young people to contemporary dance and teaches children, while reminding parents, that its easy for bad things to happen right under our noses, as freedom can be easily taken away before we know it.

Dublin Independent Fashion Week

Various Locations

Dublin Independent Fashion Week was founded in 2023 by a group of designers who recognised a gap in Ireland's fashion landscape: the lack of an accessible, independent platform dedicated to supporting homegrown talent. Built by volunteers, DIFW was created to give designers opportunities to showcase their work, connect with new audiences, and build sustainable careers on their own terms. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a week-long programme of runway shows, exhibitions, workshops, and community-led events. Today, DIFW continues to grow its platform, partnerships, and

CHOP

Axis Ballymun

Prepare for CHOP, a dangerously funny, wildly absurd theatre performance written and performed by Cian Kinsella (Lords of Strut). This high-energy one-man show dives into fragile masculinity, social satire, and environmental collapse with sharp humour and physical wit that keeps audiences buzzing long after the curtain falls. CHOP blends comedy and chaos with theatrical playfulness, creating a performance that’s unpredictable, thought-provoking, and unapologetically entertaining. Driven by Kinsella’s dynamic stage presence, the piece pushes boundaries and invites audiences into its absu
