Day Dream Believers – Choreographed by Dancer in Residence Mary Hartney, this is dance as never seen before!. The human voice, the moving chair and the dancing body engage in unanticipated exploration of limitless possibilities. Join the Residents of Rathfredagh Cheshire Home and Scoil Mhuire agus Íde transition year students who have collaborated with the music group Size2Shoes to present a unique blend of dance, beatbox, rap, poetry and song. You will be surprised, startled and stolen away on a journey of much hilarity and high jinks.
