Three new contemporary dance performances from locally based artists will be showcased at the city’s Nuns’ Island Theatre on Friday next, October 28, at 8pm.

Momentum will feature work from Fionnuala Doyle Wade, Jessie Keenan and Sophie Hutchinson and is being presented by Galway Dance Project.

Fionnuala Doyle Wade will perform Overload, a physical meditation for the overactive mind and the restless body. It’s a progression through the sensory overload of the world we live in, explored through instant composition, music and the physicality of contemporary dance.

Fionnuala, who is originally from Seattle and who has been living in Galway since 2014, created it in collaboration with dance artist Roberta Ceginskaite and sound designer Daniel Smith.

Dance artist and choreographer Jessie Keenan, originally from Cavan and living in An Spidéal, will present Fragments, a duet with Sarah Ryan. This will examine the imperfect nature of memory; its instability and fragile reconstruction. Keenan asks the question: what can we hold on to as our memories alter, fade or even disappear?
