Longford's Backstage Theatre to screen The Dance as part of Still Voices Film Society

As part of Still Voices Film Society, the Backstage Theatre will be hosting a very special screening of the highly acclaimed film The Dance on Thursday, March 24 at 8pm.

The film follows the staging of a new international dance and theatre work (MÁM) by the acclaimed choreographer Michael Keegan-Dolan, from the first day of rehearsal to the opening night performance.

The Dance is a fiercely true and beautiful account of a magical process of work, brought to life by the inimitable Pat Collins (Song of Granite, Silence).

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Pat Collins and Michael Keegan-Dolan.

This screening is not to be missed and tickets are available at €10 each from www.backstage.ie.

This is just one of a list of films to be featured as part of the Still Voices Film Society programme this year.
