Part of Tramway's Dance International Glasgow festival, 9 - 24 May
Galway Dance presents a one-day symposium as part of their International Residency Initiative Scheme with partners Glasgow Life and Theatre Gu Leór discussing Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Galway Dance has secured funding from the Arts Council of Ireland to host 4 artists, 2 from Ireland and 2 from Scotland, in 2025, all working across Intangible Cultural Heritage. The chosen artists' work will incorporate the languages, music, dance and rituals of Ireland and Scotland in a manner that brings joy to their artform and their audiences.
The funding will support Irish and Scottish-based artist Rob Heaslip to facilitate 2 residencies with all 4 artists in both Ireland and Scotland respectively.
As part of the project’s presence in each country, the schedule includes a 1-day symposium to share and address themes of the project, introduce the artists and their work, and create a sector discussion surrounding the relationship of traditional arts within contemporary performance artists, and if/how audience tastes are changing.
Each symposium will allow the artists to share their profile and their collective work during the residency, with additional talks and panels involving a guest speaker.
