The Arts Council has today announced the creation of a new all-island dance company, marking a transformative and significant moment for Ireland’s dance community. The Arts Council is making an initial investment of €2M in 2024 to support the establishment of the dance company.
After a competitive selection process, a team led by Liz Roche Company, with foundational strategic partners Maiden Voyage Dance and the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick, was appointed to form the company. This team comes with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in dance, both nationally and internationally.
This new company will provide a platform for dance, collaboration and development, seeking to strengthen the existing dance ecosystem, develop the artform and develop pathways for artists to create work of scale and ambition.
