Michael Keegan Dolan
Michael Keegan-Dolan (Micháel MacAodhagáin-Ó Dobhailen) rose to acclaim as the artistic director of Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre (1997-2015) and founded Teaċ Daṁsa when Fabulous Beast moved from the Irish midlands to the West Kerry Gaeltacht on the Southwest coast of Ireland.
Teaċ Daṁsa makes dance and theatre work informed by a sense of place and nurtures a deeper more meaningful connection with the traditions, language and music of Ireland. Teaċ Daṁsa is a place where artists can work together to make dance and theatre work that transforms both artist and audience. While grounded in Ireland the company draws upon an international ensemble of performers, artists and collaborators and has created work that has toured and resonated internationally. Teaċ Daṁsa has toured three large scale works to the Perth Festival, Giselle (2009), Swan Lake – Loch na hEala (2019) and MÁM (2020)
