John Scotts Irish Modern Dance Theatre
John Scott’s Irish Modern Dance Theatre.
John Scotts Irish Modern Dance Theatre presents an evening of dance at Dance Limerick Space (St John’s Church) on Wednesday 21 January at 8pm for an exciting evening of dance and music. Renowned choreographer John Scott brings his company Irish Modern Dance Theatre back to Dance Limerick. Three works will be performed: The Big Message, Wandering – a new work, created for the Dance Limerick Space – and audience favourite Actions. Tickets €12.00/€10.00 are available from www.dancelimerick.ie or on the door.
The Big Message is a frantic and funny solo work, performed by the extraordinary French dancer Kevin Coquelard, which responds to the question “What would I do or dream if I were hit by a meteorite?”
Wandering (working title), is an exciting work-in-progress exploring the notion of the outsider, choreographed and performed by John Scott. Unusually, Wandering features operatic arias by composers such as Wagner and Beethoven. As John Scott is also an accomplished tenor, Wandering creates a unique opportunity for the audience to experience Scott the singer and Scott the choreographer/dancer in a dance work for the first time. Wandering has been specially created for the atmospheric Dance Limerick Space.

The evening concludes with the crowd favourite Actions, a sweeping and vigorous performance by the spectacular duet of Ryan O’Neill (Pony Dance) and Kevin Coquelard.
