Céilí: Seán Curran Company and Darrah Carr Dance

Seán Curran and Darrah Carr evoke the spirit, life, and celebration of the Irish céilí in the world premiere of a new work that merges contemporary choreography and modern Irish form into a vibrant transformation of social dance.

Along with a multigenerational cast of performers from both companies, and musicians Dana Lyn & Kyle Sanna—whose score connects the dots between their experience as composers in NYC and their deep admiration for traditional Irish music—the award-winning choreographers explore the idea of coming together for a céilí that simultaneously embraces tradition and innovation.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
