Choose your dance move… Ulster-based Dance Artist Dylan Quinn invites the people of Donegal to dance with him at his touring Dance Corner this week.
Luail – Ireland’s National Dance Company has commissioned local dance-artist Dylan Quinn to create a bespoke mobile Dance Corner, which will travel with him across the nine counties of Ulster this summer; an invitation to audiences across the province to come along, and have a dance.
From 12-4pm each day, Dylan will be dancing in:
- 17-18 June Letterkenny – Market Square
- 20 June Glencolumbcille – Glencolumbcille beach
- 21 June Killybegs – outside the Bayview Hotel
The custom-built Dance Corner designed and constructed by local artist Jon Kelly, will begin its Ulster-wide tour, bringing exciting and innovative dance experiences to people outside of conventional spaces, and in their locality. Dylan is encouraging people from the locality to dance with him in the Dance Corner, for 5 minutes or for the whole afternoon, before he packs up and moves on to his next destination!
Dylan invites people of all abilities and backgrounds to meet him in this purpose-built space, to dance, move or just be together.
He said: “I am delighted to be presenting Dance Corner and really looking forward to touring the wonderful province of Ulster to meet and dance with people from across the nine counties. Dance Corner was an idea I had many years ago in which I wanted to create a social dance space in every town, village and city that would offer an inclusive “Dance Corner” for people from all walks of life to connect and feel good by dancing together, kind of like a free water fountain but with dance rather than water. I am extremely pleased and proud to have been commissioned by Luail as part of To This I Belong project and to be able to bring the Dance Corner to life.”
Dylan will travel to 21 locations around the nine counties of Ulster in June and August 2025. In partnership with Maiden Voyage Dance, this very special and bespoke event is open and welcome to all.
Dance Corner is part of an all-island dance project entitled To This I Belong – a commission celebrating home, landscape and community.
As part of this project, and in line with Luail’s ambition to support works that are multidisciplinary in nature, Luail has commissioned Belfast-based film-maker Nicky Larkin, to film the journey of To This I Belong to capture the creation of these works and the impact on the communities and landscapes that have inspired them.
