Event information

The Cove is an original piece of dance-theatre which was inspired by the hidden Port-a-Doris Cove, near Shroove, on the North Donegal coast. It pulses with memories of scaling crags with sea below, feeling the rocks with fingertips, smelling and tasting the air. The effort… the challenge…the pleasure… the fear and sense of mortality.

Critically acclaimed work by Steve Batts and Belfast-based artist Dan Shipsides with Echo Echo ensemble of six dancers, featuring innovative set design/creation/installation by Dan Shipsides, original score by Christopher Norby, and Costume by Helen Quigley.

The Cove was developed from the Batts-Shipsides project Vertical Nature Base, and was originally produced with support of the Legacy Trust UK Connections programme, part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

The Cove was recently recognised as a Highlight of Stage and Screen Design 2007-14 by Irish Theatre Institute.
