Live Dance, Opera, Film and more…
Our new studio at 42 Fairview Strands boasts its first daffodil as we launch our 2022 programme – and what a year we have in store – dance, opera, film, theatre all coming your way as part of a packed programme. We kick off with a new production of FRANCIS FOOTWORK at the Ark in April, the company will then move to the magical gardens of Lismore Castle, where David Bolger will direct/choreograph ORFEO ed EURIDICE in partnership with Blackwater Valley Opera Festival. Filming of CRISTIAN AND COSMO with Wildfire Films will follow on quick on its heals before we present our offering as part of the extraordinary ULYSSES 2.2 collaboration in the autumn.
Broadreach is also back in person – spring highlights include our first FAIRVIEW SPECIAL with Favour Odusola, kicking off next Saturday at the studio, and a new CHOREOGRAPHY PROJECT with Justine Cooper.
Most of all, we look forward to welcoming you to our new home in Fairview – a space to dance, a place to dream.
