About our Dance, Move, Draw project
In the lead up to Cruinniú na nÓg, we facilitated workshops in schools around the county.  These workshops document dance and movement through drawing, painting and mark making. Participants explored different ways to move their bodies, taking turns to draw and dance. They explored how their bodies move and how they can replicate that movement in large-scale group drawings, and also smaller personal drawings and paintings.  On 7th June for Cruinniú na nÓg, there will be a video showcase and a final workshop which will be open to all.
