Teaċ\; Daṁ\;sa \;and the Gate Theatre bring \;How to Be a Dancer in Seventy-two Thousand Easy Lessons \;to The Everyman as part of Sounds from a Safe Harbour.
\n\nFrom an Ireland in the 1970s to the present day\, \;How to Be a Dancer in Seventy-two Thousand Easy Lessons \;bends boundaries between what is lived and what is imagined\, between history and destiny\, between fact and fiction.
\n\nFrom Teaċ\; Daṁ\;sa\, the makers of \;Swan Lake / Loch Na hEala \;and \;MÁ\;M\, it is written and choreographed by Michael Keegan-Dolan who performs onstage for the first time in over twenty years\, alongside dancer and life-time collaborator Rachel Poirier.
\n\nHow to Be a Dancer in Seventy-two Thousand Easy Lessons \;is a dance down a rabbit hole: nationality\, identity\, racism\, body-image\, culture\, death\, love\, ancestor worship\, veneration\, innocence and experience\, sexuality and shame\, defiance\, humiliation and awakening.

\nSome are Born to Endless Night
