Researchers at UCD and QUB have published the findings from a research project entitled, ‘Building Capacity for Cultural Industries: Towards a Shared-Island Approach‘, which explored the extent, nature and impact of cross-island relationships in the performing arts. They found that dance and theatre on the island are deeply interdependent, with the workforce requiring cross-island mobility for work, training and development.
The report presents practical recommendations for high-level policymakers and those working within dance and theatre. The research was led by UCD, QUB and representatives from Theatre & Dance NI, Arts Council NI, Dance Ireland and Dylan Quinn Dance Theatre. It was funded by the Irish Research Council’s (IRC) New Foundations Scheme 2021, under the Shared Island Initiative Strand (8) supported by the Shared Island Unit (SIU) in the Department of the Taoiseach.
