The Parsley Collective presents Dancing Invisibilities at Ormston House on Saturday, December 6

Dance Limerick and Limerick Arts Office are proud to announce The Parsley Collective as Limerick Dance Artists in Residence for 2025/26
The Parsley Collective invite the public to join them on Saturday, December 6 at 7pm in Ormston House for ‘Dancing Invisibilities’

The Parsley Collective invite the public to join them on Saturday, December 6 at 7pm in Ormston House for ‘Dancing Invisibilities’ as the five dancers show how physical body is only part of what matters for them.

Established in 2023, The Parsley Collective comprises Mary Nunan, Angie Smalis, Rachel Sheil, Salma Ataya, and Isabella Oberländer. Individually and together, these dance artists work in the fields of choreography, performance, improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, writing, and education.

The physical body is only part of what matters for these five dancers. They also seek to draw attention to immaterial and invisible realms. What matters to them is ‘emptying to receive’.

Through movement and stillness they reveal impulses, images, and fragments of stories as they emerge through the density and porosity of their bodies and the space(s) they occupy. Visible. Invisible. Passing through…

The Parsley Collective were named Limerick Dancers-in-Residence for 2025/26 earlier this year and are now delighted to present their programme of activities.
This performance will be the culmination of The Parsley Collective’s micro-residency at Ormston House

This performance will be the culmination of The Parsley Collective’s micro-residency at Ormston House as part of their Dance-Artist-in-Residence at Dance Limerick and Limerick City and County Council for 2025 and 2026. Through this scheme, the group will refine an approach to movement, research, and improvisation. They will also hold performances, lead workshops, and participate in discussions about historical and current collectives in the arts and their foundational ideologies.

The Dance Artist in Residence scheme is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland, Dance Limerick, and Limerick City and County Council in association with The GAFF, Ormston House, Limerick City Gallery of Art, the Limerick Civic Trust / People’s Museum of Limerick, and the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the the University of Limerick.
