The Harp of Dagda- Olivia Coogan

This performance, choreographed by AUB Dance degree student Olivia Coogan, is a Contemporary and Irish Dance fusion piece, re-telling the story of The Harp of Dagda, one of the oldest Irish folklore stories and the tale of the battles between the Tuatha de Danann and the Fomorians. The aim is to bring to life the art of Irish dance, using contemporary dance, as well as the athleticism of the dance genre.

Chelsea is an contemporary dancer on the AUB Dance Degree, and Jessica is a retired competitive Irish Dancer. Both girls have been experimenting in each other’s style, as well as demonstrating their passion and skills in their own styles.

Performances at 4:30pm & 6:30pm
