New Work in Development
05-09 October 2026
We are delighted to welcome dancer and choreographer Kévin Coquelard to Draíocht for a week of Artist Support in our Studio.
"During this residency, I used the studio as a space for research and experimentation, supported by Draíocht and the bursary I was awarded. My time in the studio focused on exploring movement qualities, investigating physical textures, rhythms, and patterns, and developing new movement material as part of my ongoing choreographic research." - Kévin Coquelard
