Sharing

Join choreographer Niamh O’Loughlin for an informal sharing of The King of the Birds, a new dance-theatre duet for young audiences inspired by the folk tale of the Eagle and the Wren.

This end-of-residency showing offers a glimpse into the work-in-progress, sharing emerging movement language, approaches to audience interaction, and questions around adaptability across indoor, outdoor and non-traditional spaces.

About Niamh O’Loughlin

Niamh O’Loughlin is a Dundee-based dance artist whose work brings movement, storytelling, and imagination into outdoor and family-friendly spaces. Her practice is rooted in paying attention; to the body, the landscape, and the stories that want to be told. She creates place-responsive performances that invite audiences into playful, sensory worlds shaped by the everyday, myth, and the human physicality.

Niamh loves working with movers of all levels, creating welcoming, curious experiences full of possibility. Her projects encourage gentle participation and shared discovery, offering moments where adults and young people can explore movement together in instinctive, joyful ways.

Trained at the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, Niamh is an Associate Artist with Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre. Her work has been supported by Dance Base, The Work Room, What Moves You, and Dance Ireland. Recent research explores oceanic stories, bird myths and multi-sensory approaches to accessibility.
