We are delighted to welcome Anne-Sophie Gigan to present her work on Dance Photography.
Anne is a member of Dublin Camera Club and will present a summary of her “Dublin Dancers and Dreams” exhibition with a short videos and a selection of dance photography exhibited in two galleries in Dublin in January and March.
The idea behind this dance project is to portray a variety of traditional dances using the most famous Dublin landmarks as a background. She intends to picture the cultural richness and mixture that Dublin offers by welcoming cultures beyond its borders. The traditionalism of the dances and the modernity of the city blend in a harmonious contrast, allowing foreign cultures to feel free to represent their being in a land that welcomed them with open arms.
