JIG, a Trinity Irish Dance Company Production
Wednesday, February 28, 7:30 p.m.
We return to our season-long exploration of percussive movement in the performing arts, set the stage for the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, and offer another fantastic evening of family entertainment with a visit from America’s foremost Irish dance troupe.
JIG, a Trinity Irish Dance Company Production, is a brand new work that offers a fresh take on TIDC’s internationally renowned, alternative approach to a traditional form. In its premiere season, JIG will redefine what’s possible for Irish music and dance. Centered by a live band, JIG will immerse audiences in an authentic experience that celebrates the power of vibrations, rhythm and movement.
Offering everything you expect and nothing you’d imagine, the Trinity Irish Dance Company brings a cutting-edge, integrity-filled vision to the stage. Founded in 1990 and called “Sophisticated and commanding” by the Los Angeles Times and “Impossibly complex” by The New York Times, TIDC has sold out tours in Asia and distinguished venues throughout North America, including such prestigious spaces as Washington’s Kennedy Center, NYC’s Joyce Theater, and LA’s Royce Hall.
Rooted in tradition yet forward-looking and ever evolving, TIDC celebrates Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard’s unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation, dazzling with hard-driving percussive power and aerial grace while sending a clear message of female empowerment.
