Screening will be followed with a conversation between Laura Murphy and dance artist and choreographer Mairead Vaughan.

The worth of a dancer’s career is often measured by the time spent in the limelight. Yet a dancer’s experience of their career extends beyond the stage. This series of short films reveals an archive of untold stories and unspoken values by women in dance in Ireland. Collaborating with filmmaker Pato Cassinoni, animator Alan Early and composer Irene Buckley, Laura Murphy presents an innovative and multifaceted exploration of eight women: Jean Butler, Alicia Christofi Walshe, Lisa Cliffe, Finola Cronin, Joan Davis, Katherine O'Malley, Mary Nunan and Angie Smalis.
