LAURA SARAH DOWDALL
BATHS RESIDENCY
Dance Artist in Residence: 2023
As inaugural artist at the Baths Artist Studios in Dún Laoghaire in 2023, Laura focused on exploring our interconnection with the Sea:
Diving into the context and stories of this historic landmark in exchange with local bathing and swimming community.
​
Exploring our inter-relationship, impact and care of
water, the Sea and coastal landscapes.
​
Investigating our physiological water make-up, sea rites and rituals,
& our innate desire to dip, swim and get-in the water!
With a program of land and water-based movement workshops, sea scores, talks, dance & dip events, pop-up performances & more!
​
CALLING ALL WATER-LOVERS!
Join the dance this Summer with sea and studio-based workshops, open studio conversation and pop-up events at the BATHS in Dún Laoghaire!
This is an opportunity to share your stories, explore your own water-dance, connect with community and find joy in movement!
