Sutemos visit Limerick as part of Youth Dance Matters

16th December 2024

Eight dancers from our Youth Engagement project Sutemos were in Limerick for the weekend with partner organisation Youth Dance Limerick. The group is part of the Youth Dance Matters research, a collaboration between Queen’s University Belfast and University College Dublin.  A draft copy of the research can be read HERE.

Hosted by Dance Limerick in their wonderful studio in John’s Square, the dancers worked with Prof. Aoife McGrath and Dr. Victoria Durrer. They had a ball and loved the work, the city and even the 8 hour bus journey, which became an extended chance for a sing song!

Thank you to all for treating us so wonderfully.
