«The poetry of Amanda Lovelace was the inspiration for this work. It inspired me to present and verbalize through movement the opinions of 6 young women on their personal role in our present society. All of different cultural and religious backgrounds, it depicts how they feel, sometimes stereotyped and always questioning their position in this so called ever evolving society.»

Step Up dance project is a partnership between Dance Limerick, Dance Ireland, the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick and the Arts Council, which aims to bridge the gap between dance education and professional contemporary dance practice in Ireland.»
