Before the festival, Fearghus will prepare and host a supper as an occasion for conversation across disciplines and cultures in relation to the theme of ‘recovery’ – central to his new work Cure. Come and share food, knowledge, experience and thoughts, as we build connections from different standpoints. This collective enquiry will give guests a chance to explore their own understanding of recovery, to gain insight into the ideas and artistic processes of Cure’s creation and to inform Fearghus in the crucial final rehearsal period before the show’s premiere.

Moving Conversations is a series of discussions curated by Create, the national development agency for collaborative arts, in partnership with Dublin Dance Festival.

As part of E-motional Bodies and Cities project, Dance House Lemesos has invited Fearghus to return to Cyprus to undertake a brief residency. He is using the opportunity to extend a collaboration with fellow E-motional Bodies and Cities choreographer, Olga Zlithulina. The pair will present a work in progress at Dance House Lemesos at 19:00 on 29th March

Fearghus will also present a live performance of Match on the soccer pitch of Fitidio Athletic Centre 30th March at 21:00. This is the first time Match has been performed since it was presented in the Irish Pavilion of the 2011 World Expo in Shanghai.

Cure will be premiere at this year’s Dublin Dance Festival. The programme was launched by Minister Jimmy Deenihan.

Cure will be performed on the 15th and 16th May at Project Arts Centre. For information about booking click here

Fearghus will be teaching morning professional class at Dancehouse, Dublin as part of a residency supported by Dance Ireland. During the residency, Fearghus will be working with Elena Giannotti on the next phase of creation of Cure.

Fearghus will present Bodies and Buildings at the Art and Geography Conference (Aesthetics and practices of spatial knowledges) held in Lyon’s Université Louis Lumiére from 11th to 13th February.
Bodies and Buildings is a collection of the low-res films shot by Fearghus as part of his long term research into the relationship between bodies and buildings in the context of urban regeneration. The films were first assembled as part of an exhibition of Fearghus’s film work in the Rua Red Gallery in Tallaght (2011) and have since been exhibited in the Engage Festival in Bandon (2013).

Fearghus will host two artists’ talks as part of Made in Dublin, Dance Ireland’s 21st Birthday Celebration.

Made in Dublin Artists’ Talks are two unique opportunities to meet some of the dancers and choreographers performing in Made in Dublin and contribute to the conversations.

Open to the public and free of charge, Artists’ Talks will focus on the importance of encouraging international exchange and maintaining transnational dialogues. Related topics will include mobility and the value and purpose of undertaking an international residency.
