Tipperary Dance was founded in 2010 by Alexandre Iseli and Jazmin Chiodi. Since then, Iseli and Chiodi have relentlessly elaborated a space in rural Ireland for creation, support and encounter, centred on artists and the relevance of artists’ work. Over the years, Tipperary Dance has created and performed original work 127 times in over 13 countries, including dance shows, films, documentaries, publications and a boutique Festival. Tipperary Dance is an artist-led organisation and programme, now directed by Alexandre Iseli, a dance artist and choreographer, driven by a particular vision developed over three decades of artistic practice across Europe and the world. Tipperary Dance acts as an international creative space that engages with artists and citizens while building and providing infrastructure for the art form of dance.
