ABOUT
Curated by David Bolger, BENCH was born from a unique two-year pilot partnership between CoisCéim Dance Theatre and Waterways Ireland. It began in 2023 with commissions to Jessie Thompson and Favour Odusola and the following year to Sibéal Davitt & Tobi Omoteso. In 2024 the project was awarded the prestigious Business To Arts Kmend Arts Partnership Award. Find out more here.
