DIG 2025: Galway Dance presents Intangible Cultural Heritage Symposium (Scotland/Ireland)
Galway Dance presents a one-day symposium as part of their International Residency Initiative Scheme with partners Glasgow Life and Theatre Gu Leór discussing Intangible Cultural Heritage.
About DIG 2025: Galway Dance presents Intangible Cultural Heritage Symposium (Scotland/Ireland)
Galway Dance has secured funding from the Arts Council of Ireland to host 4 artists, 2 from Ireland and 2 from Scotland, in 2025, all working across Intangible Cultural Heritage. The chosen artists' work will incorporate the languages, music, dance and rituals of Ireland and Scotland in a manner that brings joy to their artform and their audiences.
The funding will support Irish and Scottish-based artist Rob Heaslip to facilitate 2 residencies with all 4 artists in both Ireland and Scotland respectively.
As part of the project’s presence in each country, the schedule includes a 1-day symposium to share and address themes of the project, introduce the artists and their work, and create a sector discussion surrounding the relationship of traditional arts within contemporary performance artists, and if/how audience tastes are changing.
Each symposium will allow the artists to share their profile and their collective work during the residency, with additional talks and panels involving a guest speaker.
