Choreographed by Liz Roche
Performed by Philip Connaughton, Grant McLay, Liv O'Donoghue, Katherine O'Malley, Liz Roche
Lighting design by Sinéad Wallace
Music by Joel Mellin, Edward Rosenberg, Julia Wolfe

A collection of short works developed over a year-long period of movement, reflection and investigation by Liz Roche with the Rex Levitates company, these dances appear as a wash of colour, rhythm and emotion; human embodiment as a dynamic event. “Liz Roche's 12 Minute Dances were carefully crafted and deliberately understated, and confirmed her position as one of the most thought-provoking Irish choreographers around”
