Pecha Kuching away in Grenoble (November 2014)

DANCE is a piece that I created in 2013 for the company Conny Janssen Danst in Rotterdam, co produced by Dansateliers. And the piece was chosen to go on tour with the company through the Netherlands! I was very happy about it. It’s a piece that marks the beginning of a certain identity through my work and I am very proud of it!

The European project Communicating Dance is a program focussed on developing the communication and leadership skills of the next generation of dance makers and writers/dramaturges.

When the Communicating Dance project almost came to an end, they chose to unlock a part of the content of this project to their local community.

Ten Questions for PAUL JOHNSON // CEO DANCE IRELAND

An  Interview on Leadership with Paul Johnson, CEO of Dance Ireland
 
 
1. You started out as a dancer and choreographer – how does that inform how you work today?
It greatly informs how I work today because I understand implicitly what it’s like to be a dancer or choreographer. I also understand both what it’s like to be successful, but also to not achieve what you’ve set out to achieve as a dance artist. So that background greatly informs what I do.
