Porous

Dance Exposed takes dance into public spaces. For the 2013 programme, as part of the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queens, Maiden Voyage commissioned a new work from Fearghus Ó Conchúir

Fearghus uses dance to ask questions about the relationship between bodies and buildings as a way of understanding the relationship between individuals and the structures that shape their experience. For Dance Exposed, he created a performance in and around the MAC and Ulster Museum that mapped the relationships between dancer and audience, between the performance and the space it inhabits, and between the traces of what has been and of what is to come.
