Dance, Circus & Street Arts, Out & About

Continuing our season celebrating connections with Ireland, Miss Mary by Kristyn Fontanella is a hauntingly beautiful outdoor dance work that reimagines the spirit of Ireland’s travelling dance masters.

Moving through space, story and memory, she arrives not simply to perform, but to connect, inviting audiences into a shared moment of curiosity and exchange.

Where did you come from?
How do you move?
Will you dance with me?

Blending Irish step dance with a contemporary voice, Miss Mary becomes a poetic gathering of ancestry, nostalgia and community. 

Come watch. Come listen. You might even find yourself dancing.
