‘Unsung’ - Direction: Morleigh Steinberg - A pub session, a heartbreaking song – and an unexpected guest. Duration 6'12'' - Watch here - Some info here. Together two of Ireland’s finest and most talented artists, choreographer Liz Roche and composer Micheál Ó’Súilleabháin, to create a new and ground breaking dance work. Unsung is a re-interpretation of the rules of how traditional Irish dances are put together; exploring where their impetus in movement comes from, how this can be adapted and made relevant to the modern dancers body. Housed within the performance structure of the traditional Irish “session”, the formal and improvisational structures that form the basis of the traditional dances and music will to be re-interpreted creating a new fusion between modern bodies, traditional instruments and the audience. Featuring new and existing music and performed live by Micheál Ó’Súilleabháin, a cast of four world class dancers and the voice of sean nós maestro Iarla O Lionaird, Unsung promises a whole new and dynamic creative experience within both the traditional and modern dance genres. Rex Levitates would like to acknowledge the support of RTÉ and The Arts Council in commissioning for the dance film initiative RTÉ Dance On The Box the short film Unsung from which this project has been developed.
