Luail Call Out: Moving in Collaboration International Intensive 2025
Luail, Ireland’s National Dance Company 2024
This two-week intensive workshop, scheduled from July 7th to July 18th, 2025, will be hosted at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick, Ireland. The workshop will run Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Led by choreographers Jonathan Burrows and Liz Roche, with composers Mel Mercier and Judith Ring, this programme offers an immersive experience in the collaborative intersections between movement and music. Choreographers and composers working with dancers and musicians will engage in specialised practice sessions, collaborative processes, practical discussions, and networking opportunities – all designed to enhance professional growth in performance-making.
There are four places for choreographers and four places for composers.
The intensive is free of charge. On-campus accommodation will be provided, along with a stipend of €750 per person for expenses (note: travel costs are not covered). This initiative represents an exceptional opportunity for choreographers and composers to refine and develop their collaborative practices in a supportive and focused environment.
We warmly invite applications from emerging and experienced professional choreographers and composers of diverse backgrounds, abilities, experiences, and perspectives who are interested in deepening their engagement with collaborative performance work.
