With playful energy, impressive acrobatics, comic timing and a joyful soundscape, two dancers create a magical world through the clever manipulation of simple balloons.
Their imaginations seem to know no bounds - resulting in a hypnotic, funny and uplifting performance full of falling, lifting, throwing, catching, stumbling, floating … and sometimes maybe even a little bit of flying.
Fall and Float was developed with the support of Baboró’s GROW Pathways to Production. Mónica Muñoz is supported by Meitheal: A Branar Initiative 2022-2023.
Mónica Muñoz is a choreographer based in Dublin. She is interested in making dance experiences for early years and young audiences with the body as its centre. She strives to create highly physical works that are presented in theatre venues, schools, libraries and outdoor spaces. Recent productions include FLiP, FALL and FLOAT and UP-CLOSE, commissioned by Tipperary Dance International Festival, Ireland (2021), which toured nationally. Previous work includes the acclaimed Princesses Can Be Pirates, funded by Business to Arts which toured nationally and internationally with support from The Arts Council of Ireland and Culture Ireland. Monica was The Ark’s John Coolahan Early Years Artist in Residence 2021/22 and is currently a participant of Meitheal: A Branar Initiative 2021-2023. This year she was appointed as a Creative Associate with the Arts Council's Creative Schools programme.
Relaxed Events are specifically for parents who may have concerns about bringing their children to the festival. We aim to provide a comfortable and relaxed space for children, and a stress-free environment for parents. Artists adapt their shows by altering the light and sound for example, and our Front of House Managers create a supportive atmosphere where audiences can move around or make noise.
