  • Missing a Beat
    Missing a Beat Bridging Ireland's Orchestral Gaps A Review of Orchestral Provision in Ireland Review of Orchestral Provision in Ireland 1 Introductory note from The Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon This note introduces the Report 'Missing a Beat: bridging Ireland's orchestral gaps', from the perspective of the Arts Council. In response to feedback gathered during a major consultation process (2005), in the resulting document, Partnership for the Arts, the Arts Council undertook to “examine national orchestral needs and develop appropriate responses”1. This led to commissioning a review of orchestral provision in late 2007. Much of the primary research was undertaken during 2008 and 2009. The resulting report 'Missing a Beat, Bridging Ireland's Orchestral Gaps' written by Fergus Sheil, was finalised in November 2010. A postscript to the original report was written by the author in May 2012, in order to reflect developments since the original report was completed. This postscript is now appended to the original document. The report offers an overview and analysis of issues affecting orchestral provision in Ireland. It draws upon a wide range of examples of international practice to illustrate what it regards as 'gaps' and to highlight the potential that may exist for development within Ireland. Beyond its usefulness as an important reference document, the report has the potential to stimulate both further dialogue and practical cooperation amongst a broad range of stakeholders within the music sector. In this regard, the report itself notes and anticipates the need for the music sector to develop new models of practice. Embracing such an approach may prove to be essential in terms of ensuring the longer term development and sustainability of orchestral music provision in Ireland.

  • Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World an International Research Conference at Arizona State University
    September –October 2018 Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World an international research conference at Arizona State University celebrating and examining the impact of Jews and the Jewish experience on the dance field and broader communities | 1 Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World welcome Dear Conference Participant: On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to warmly welcome you to Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World, an international conference at Arizona State University (ASU). Organized by the Center for Jewish Studies and the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at ASU, the conference and related events celebrate the substantial contribution of Jews to the world of dance as choreographers, dancers, dance educators, scholars and theorists. The conference also critically reflects on how dance expresses the complex, variegated Jewish historical experience as well as on the social and cultural role of dance in Jewish communities all over the world. This international and interdisciplinary conference is truly unique, bridging dance performance, scholarship, education and therapy. The event convenes over 100 dance practitioners and scholars from across the world, representing a wide variety of dance styles, disciplines and religious orientations. Two years in the making, it showcases the pioneering work on Judaism and the arts undertaken by the Center for Jewish Studies led by Dr. Hava Tirosh-Samuelson, Regents’ Professor of History and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. The impetus was the hiring of the world-renowned Jewish choreographer, Liz Lerman, by the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, and my own ongoing scholarship at the intersection of dance and Jewish studies, within the School of Film, Dance and Theatre.

  • How Do You Solve a Problem Like Ballet in Ireland?

Yes, my daughter is enrolled. Just passed her exams. You know, her teacher passes more Grade 5 students than any other teacher in Ireland. Ballet. Oh, I got my tickets to Swan Lake. Yes, we’ll be sitting in the corporate box with my husband’s clients. I believe this Swan Lake is the best one that’s being presented in the whole of the world today. Ballet. Oh, there’s no real ballet in this country. All we see are Swan Lake and Nutcrackers. I have to go abroad if I want to see anything else. Ballet. Where’s the money? Did you hear the company in town actually might be folding? Some words evoke such powerful associations they immediately ignite the imagination and the senses. In Ireland, the word ballet evokes surprisingly incongruous reactions. And the confusing remarks gain a momentum of their own until ballet’s somewhat precarious foothold in this country seems all the more in question. Ballet has become a loaded word here. Today becomes history It needn’t be that way, considering this island enjoys an immense pride of place in ballet’s world history, due to one young dancer from Wicklow who launched what is now one of the most prestigious schools and companies in the world. As a child, Dame Ninette de Valois danced her first Irish jig on a farmhouse kitchen floor, and years later, her family moved to England and she devoted herself to studying with the best Russian, Italian and French teachers of her day.

BIBLIOGRAPHY 18 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 18 3 4 PREFACE Dance in Ireland has developed exponentially in recent years, with new confidence in evidence throughout all areas of the sector. This has been in most part due to the collective efforts of the Arts Council, individual dance artists, dance organisations and other stakeholders in dance in Ireland, working together to develop and instigate policies which have raised standards generally and created an environment out of which talent can emerge and be supported. The climate of policy making and funding over recent years has, in the main, fostered diversity in dance and therefore has perhaps been more complementary to contemporary dance making; this is apparent in the variety of approaches to movement presented by Irish contemporary dance companies and dance practitioners.
