Darrah Carr Dance: Dancing the Great Arc (Fall 2018)
Saturday, October 27, 2018 at 2:00PM

Irish Arts Center
553 West 51st Street
New York, NY 10019

Featuring Dana Lyn & Kyle Sanna

The Bessie award-nominated Darrah Carr Dance returns to Irish Arts Center with an exuberant new work featuring fiddler Dana Lyn, guitarist Kyle Sanna, and a cast of champion Irish dancers. In DCD’s trademark style, ModERIN, the artists will perform a choreographic exploration of Lyn and Sanna’s The Great Arc, a dynamic concept album featuring nuanced interpretations of traditional Irish music.

About Darrah Carr Dance
“Putting a new wrinkle into New York modern dance with a program of pieces that add Irish step dancing to the modern mix.”–The New York Times
The Irish dance company brings a bold new twist to conventional Irish dance. Their acclaimed performances draw from Irish music, step dance footwork, and spatial patterns to create high-energy, rhythmically based work that is accessible to a broad audience.

About The Great Arc
“Lyn and Sanna challenge our expectations and assumptions about Irish music [and] invite us to consider our perceptions of the natural world and how attuned we are to its rhythms and phrases.”–The Boston Irish Reporter
Creating a musical narrative inspired by extinct and endangered animal species, Lyn and Sanna’s second album connects the dots between the duo’s experience as composers and improvisers in New York City's rich musical community and their deep admiration.
