First Run is a bi – monthly event inviting artists working in and across the field of contemporary dance to share new explorations in their current practice. Performances could involve a segment from a work in development or an investigation into a particular working method, (such as solo practice, improvisation, collaboration or dance on film). The intention is that the work shown is rough, raw, full of possibilities and open for discussion from which it may develop.

First Run is a platform for new approaches to contemporary dance, offering dancers and choreographers the opportunity to question, strengthen and deepen their arts practice.

Two short pieces are presented in the Lucy Guerin Inc Studio, followed by a dialogue session with the artists and audience. The purpose of First Run is to enliven public discussion around contemporary dance and to give choreographers an opportunity to receive constructive critical feedback for future development of their works.
