Jess Rowell’s Dance Residency in Draíocht was supported by The Arts Council, with additional funding provided by Fingal County Council.

Join us for the launch of this short film featuring dance artist and project director Jess Rowell and Brian McSweeney from Traces Dance Ensemble Co Waterford, with an original sound score written by Dublin based composer Stefan French, filmed by film artist Conor Donelan, with lighting design by Eamon Fox.

A new collaborative dance work, originally created for stage adapted for film, which explores and captures the beauty of distance, connectivity and the unique 13 year movement relationship between these two dancers.
