Book synopsis

From Ninette de Valois to Jean Butler and Tom Hickey, this book showcases the stories of Ireland's unsung movers: actors, dancers, choreographers, playwrights, directors, and the few academics who dare to go where no words have gone before. Focusing on people who value what's in between the words as much as the words themselves, it features stories of the creative journeys taken by artists who have devoted their lives to physical expression. Irish Moves not only provides a map of dance and physical theatre in Ireland, but is also a meditation on the complicated attitude the nation has about the body. It offers surprising and sometimes disconcerting revelations about Irish society. But this is no dry history: this is a beautiful book, full of pictures and highly visual, in keeping with the usually word-less subject matter.
