Live Performance
8.00pm / Courtyard
We are thrilled to host the premiere of In Place, a live performance produced by Croí Glan Integrated Dance Company. Presented as part of IMMA Outdoors, this diptych of works will be performed in the unique courtyard setting of IMMA. Choreographed by Croí Glan Co-Artistic Director Tara Brandel, In Place plays with the relationship between the fragility and durability of the soft human form, and the surfaces and spaces of the architecture in which the performers are situated. Comprising a solo and a duet, In Place offers insights into how our environment shapes our trust, attachments and closeness and is an aural and visual feast for the senses. Book your free place here.

IMMA Outdoors 
IMMA Outdoors offers lots to explore throughout the grounds at IMMA and the RHK. Adventure through our Formal Gardens where you will find a dazzling new installation Club Chroma Chlorologia by Niall Sweeny. Visit our Terrace with friends and try your hand at our new installation Ping Pong Diplomacy by Mark Clare, which reignites the meaning of negotiation through the popular game of table tennis. Discover Y O U N G F O S S I L,  a newly commissioned project with the collaborative arts practice Forerunner, that brings bespoke seating and convivial gathering structures to our Meadow.
