‘We leave uplifted, Poirier and Keegan-Dolan having conveyed by the chemistry of music and movement and intangible, lingering, joyous energy’ - The Irish Examiner
A success at the Dublin Theatre Festival last year, How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons is a playful and provocative dance show by Olivier Award nominee Micheal Keegan-Dolan.
Hailed as a joyous and powerful coming of age work, the show uses dance to tackle contentious issues like nationality, identity, racism, body-image, culture, death and love, among others.
From an Ireland in the 1970s to the present day, How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons blurs the boundaries between what is lived and what is imagined, between history and destiny, between fact and fiction.
Written and choreographed by Michael Keegan-Dolan, the show will follow two performances of his mythic production MÁM, in Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, which brings together the Irish traditional concertina player Cormac Begley, the European music collective, stargaze and 12 international dancers from Tea Dasa.

Some are Born to Endless Night

Running from July 17 - 22, How To Be A Dancer In Seventy-Two Thousand Easy Lessons will take place in the Black Box.
