TIPPERARY DANCeTipperary Dance (formerly Tipperary Dance Platform) Tipperary Dance encapsulates the prolific range of activities undertaken by Jazmín Chiodi and Alexandre Iseli since 2008, when they founded Tipperary Dance Platform. The rebranding, under the new direction of Alexandre Iseli, aims to enfold their decades-long experience as artists, managers and curators, while staying true to the core values that drove Tipperary Dance Platform since its inception: care, understanding, integrity, tenacity and generosity of spirit. As an artist-led, non-profit organisation, Tipperary Dance acts as an international creative space that engages creatively with artists and citizens while building and providing infrastructure(s) for the art form of dance. This is made possible thanks to a collaborative approach that involves a network of local, stakeholders and national and international partners that includes dance companies, independent artists, public authorities, venues, festivals and other dance organisations. And, of course, our audiences and participants, and all the communities we have formed throughout the years and that have made this journey possible, helping us to deliver our highest ambition: artistic excellence and social meaningfulness. Tipperary Dance International Festival Since 2010, the festival has been bringing the best of dance from Ireland and the world to County Tipperary. The TDP’ festival has shown the work of more than 200 artists over the last decade. We host productions and experimental installations, screendance, symposiums, masterclass programmes for dancers, community workshops, laboratories, exhibitions, cinema, and of course performances, in both theatres and non-conventional public spaces. The festival is characterised by its careful curation, cutting edge programming, and friendly atmosphere: a vibrant festive gathering and the best of Irish hospitality for audiences, participants, and artists. |
