Night Dances

This event has ended

Pavilion Theatre, Thursday 27th March - Saturday 29th March

Night Dances is a bold series of four dance vignettes created by Emma Martin in collaboration with the performers and pounding music of Daniel Fox (Gilla Band). The show played to rapturous response at Dublin Theatre Festival 2021, Edinburgh Fringe 2022 and Dublin Dance Festival 2024.

A ferociously exhilarating performance of pure dance and live music, eschewing hierarchies of style and form, it is an ode to the body and a visceral, sweaty love letter to dance in all its guises.

Inspired by the simple act of dancing, the work is a democratic celebration of dance culture from disparate contexts – clubs to competitions to ceremonial. Revelling in a promiscuity of styles and images, Night Dances expresses fury, rebellion, hope and freedom through raucous choreography, rumbling bass and a desire to reconnect us to the simple power and beauty of people dancing to music.
