Garter Lane Arts Centre in association with Waterford Cultural Quarter presents Rachel Ní Bhraonáin’s Losing Your Body.
How far can the body be pushed before it pushes back?
This dancer is primed for success – a flat in London, a flexible day job, trendy friends and the occasional gig go-go dancing. Her migraines are getting worse, but she just has to keep hustling. Any day now she’ll get her big break. If her breaking point doesn’t get there first.
Told through theatre, dance, aerial and a healthy dose of self-deprecation, the truth is bubbling under the surface and she’s about to let it spill.
Originally created with the support of Garter Lane Arts Centre, A Little Room Theatre Development Centre, Dance Cork Firkin Crane, Dance Ireland, Creation Aerial, Irish Aerial Creation Centre and Dublin Fringe Festival.
With thanks to Deirdre Dwyer, Shane Gill and all of our Fundit funders.
