Night of the Living Debs

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEBS is a project exploring modern and traditional debutante norms, demonstrating cosmetic change made common by fake tanning, beauty products, and hair bleaching.

The piece culminated in two parts, the first being performed by Creative Steps in the Temple Bar Square and as part of DCU Dance Society’s ALL-IRELAND DANCE EXPERIMENT 2010 at The Helix.

Part 2 was performed at The Axis as part of LiFT Ballymun Youth Arts Festival and the first annual NOISEmoves Youth Dance Festival at the Civic Theatre in Tallaght.
