Abú is a shout of support and wish for flourishing. Drawing on Gaelic games and the communities involved in them, this year’s Step Up Dance Project presents a choreography to celebrate the commitment, care and passion it takes to make a strong team. The dance honours not only the stars on the pitch but also the people who aren’t always visible and aren’t always included. Developed with input from individual players and teams in Limerick and powered by new music from award-winning rapper, producer and songwriter MuRli, Abú brings dynamic performances from these early-career dancers onto the pitch and into the heart.

April – May 2022
Dance Limerick

Fearghus is creating work for the Step Up Dance Project based at Dance Limerick and UL (and in partnership with Firkin Crane, Dance Ireland and the Arts Council). The project for early-career dance professionals aims to connect participants to the range of practices and practitioners that make up Ireland’s dance ecology and to the international networks of dance in which we operate. It is focused on developing artists as performers while recognising the creativity necessary in the performer’s work. This year’s creation connects the Step Up Project to the GAA community in Limerick.
