Dancing Invisibilities

In Dancing Invisibilities, five dance artists will “reveal impulses, images, and fragments of stories as they emerge through the density and porosity of their bodies and the space(s) they occupy. Visible. Invisible. Passing through…”

Comprised of Mary Nunan, Angie Smalis, Rachel Sheil, Salma Ataya, and Isabella Oberländer, The Parsley Collective work in the fields of choreography, performance, improvisation, interdisciplinary collaboration, writing, and education. They are concerned not only with the physical body but with immaterial and invisible realms.

Admission is free and booking is not required.

This performance will be the culmination of The Parsley Collective's micro-residency at Ormston House as part of their Dance-Artist-in-Residence at Dance Limerick and Limerick City and County Council for 2025 and 2026. Through this scheme, the group will refine an approach to movement, research, and improvisation. They will also hold performances, lead workshops, and participate in discussions about historical and current collectives in the arts and their foundational ideologies.

The Dance Artist in Residence scheme is funded by The Arts Council of Ireland, Dance Limerick, and Limerick City and County Council in association with The GAFF, Ormston House, Limerick City Gallery of Art, the Limerick Civic Trust / People’s Museum of Limerick, and the Ralahine Centre for Utopian Studies at the the University of Limerick.
