Double: body as source is a meeting of minds between Violinist-Composer Emer Kinsella, Dancer-Choreographer Megan Lowe, and Visual Artist Mary Little. Devised and created by Emer & Megan, this experimental duet of movement and sound responds to both Mary’s series Double and Eavan Boland’s poem Anna Liffey. In celebration of International Women’s Day, we invite you to step into this multidisciplinary collaboration, created by Irish artists in the Western US.

Due West celebrates the cultural links between Ireland and America, profiling Irish Artists traversing the Western US. Due West invites you to steal a glimpse into their journey - a moment stopped still - before continuing on their way, carrying with them their craft and their stories.
