diary of the visit
A partnership born from a digital experience: Silvia Albanese and Jazmin Chiodi, former director of Tipperary Dance International Festival and now artistic director of Dublin Dance Festival, met in spring 2020 on Zoom thanks to The Foyer, a digital format created by Silvia Albanese with John Ashford during the digital edition of Springback Forward 2020.
TIR Danza decided to involve Tipperary Dance International Festival as a partner in 18M8L project, to nourish the relation and enhance possible exchanges and live dialogues as well. This action took place from 5 to 10 October and was built in dialogue with Alexandre Iseli, now artistic director of Tipperary Dance International Festival. TIR Danza invited VAN to share the contents of this visit together. The artists involved were Francesca Foscarini, who presented her solo ANIMALE with Romain Guion and Nicola Galli who lead a masterclass for young Irish dancers. The producers involved from the 2 companies were Silvia Albanese and Federica Giuliano. Unfortunately Francesca Foscarini couldn’t travel to Ireland, because of the vaccination mandatory in Ireland, so Romain Guion was the artist involved for VAN: he lead a masterclass as well to the same target.
Tipperary Dance International Festival is a small international and peripherical reality in the south-west of Ireland, that took place in Tipperary County.
