Its artistic director Michael Keegan-Dolan talks about his plans and work-in-progress, in which ‘there’s absolutely no difference between a gesture and a word’.
Fabulous Beast seeks to recruit a producer to work closely with The Artistic Director and The Board of Directors. Download further information: .PDF or .DOC
Check out this video from the Sadler’s Wells website. This is some work we did on a piece with a working title La Symphonie Imaginaire. I hope to present this work in Ireland next year with perhaps eight dancers, an empty space and a CD!

Michael Keegan-Dolan will be in residence at the Backstage Theatre in Longford during December, working on the development phase of his latest project, working title Helen + Hell, with a team of Ireland’s most talented artists drawn from the worlds of theatre, dance and music. Many of Michael’s previous productions have been inspired by the Irish Midlands, where he lives and works. We are grateful to the Backstage Theatre for hosting this important part of our creative process.
On Friday 17 December and Saturday 18 December there will be two special work in progress showings of Helen + Hell, at the Backstage Theatre in Longford. Details can now be seen here (PDF).
