Rachel Ní Bhraonáin is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and Waterford City & County Council as Dance Artist in Residence at Garter Lane Arts Centre in 2023. This will mean that Rachel has opportunity to expand on her practise, utilise the dance studio with invited colleagues and guests and run out a programme of her devising for the year. Garter Lane is delighted to have Rachel frequent the space while acknowledging the potential to work collaboratively with an emerging Dance talent in the Southeast. Here’s what Rachel has to say:
“I wish to focus my residency on increasing the presence and production of professional dance in Waterford City while building a stronger sense of community with the many dance enthusiasts living here. My plans will include professional workshops, connecting with local dance teachers, collaborating with other artists, and hosting a regionally based dance artist/company to come and make work in Garter Lane’s dance studio.”
