Colin Dunne show in Ottawa

Colin Dunne’s one man irish dance show "Out of Time" is playing in a few North American cities as part of the Irish government's cultural initiative called Imagine Ireland. It will be showing in Ottawa from October 27-29 at the National Arts Centre.

Best known for his work with Ireland’s acclaimed Riverdance, Colin Dunne is an internationally celebrated practitioner of Irish Step Dance. In his first full-length solo production, Out of Time, Dunne integrates contemporary movement, text, film and sound design with Irish dance, choreographing a provocative dialogue between his past and present. Complete with percussive sound effects and projected vintage footage, the thoroughly engaging work is at once intimate and playful, sincere and youthful — a bold retrospective on the relationships that have shaped his life. A fantastically articulate performer with an infectious energy, Dunne’s personal story holds you captive.
