As dusk descends over Dublin, members of the public are invited into the enchanting realm of CoisCéim Dance Theatre at their headquarters in Fairview Strand. There, the historic late 19th-century former post office, will transform into the pulsating heartbeat of the city – a dancehall like no other.
CoisCéim Dance Theatre’s newest production, “DanceHall Blues” is set to premiere on Sunday, September 8th, under the direction of visionary choreographer David Bolger. The new production is described as a “shapeshifter” and promises to be one of the most memorable shows at this year’s Dublin Fringe Festival. This performance will bring together Stephanie Dufresne and Alex O’Neill, two of Ireland’s most exciting dancers, for the first time, in an electrifying duet that captures the unwavering resilience of the human spirit.
DanceHall Blues will make use of the dance company’s studios in the iconic building on Fairview Strand, designed in 1888 by architect Robert Cochrane. The show is an anchor of CoisCéim’s Dance Theatre’s programme celebrating its 30th year, coinciding with the 30th birthday of the Dublin Fringe Festival.
DanceHall Blues will continue from September 10th-15th & 19th-21st as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival. CoisCéim has been leading the way in accessible ticket pricing in recent years, and with this production continues to offer pay-what-you-can tickets.
