SCULPT

Following an Open Call in December 2020, five artists were selected for Maiden Voyage SEED commissions as part of Residance an Artist Development programme funded through Organisational Emergency Programme from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Department for Communities.

Devised by lead artist Michael McEvoy in collaboration with dancers Clara Kerr, Emily McDonagh and Rosie Mullin, SCULPT is the first of our SEED commissions to be shared.

The work is site responsive, relying on stimulus from the immediate landscape and will be popping up in areas of architectural or environmental interest throughout Belfast and County Down over the first two weekends in July. The nature of the piece offers the artists a chance to work in non-traditional performance spaces and gives the public a chance to experience dance in a safe and socially distanced way.
