This darkly comic Giselle made an explosive impact on the London dance scene, astounding audiences and winning over critics with its originality and ambition. Transporting the action to the fictitious town of Ballyfeeny, where life is tough and unforgiving, Giselle by Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre is an extraordinary and controversial interpretation of the classic romantic ballet.

The frustrated inhabitants of Ballyfeeny are seduced by the promise of happiness when line-dancing Bratslavian Albrecht comes to town. Most especially there is Giselle, who has the most to win - or lose.

This savagely funny, crude and feisty performance is narrated by Giselle's father who sits atop a telephone pole observing the town's goings-on – incest, betrayal, lust. Giselle combines low-rent humour, Irish folksongs and line-dancing to create an arresting narrative and a boldly visual, highly entertaining production.

Michael Keegan-Dolan, the creative powerhouse behind Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre, is one of Ireland's most talented and innovative choreographers. He has made his name by mercilessly modernising old stories while keeping true to their universal themes.

Brave and brilliant, Giselle is ultimately about redemption and the power of the human spirit.

Great images just work.

SCROLL DOWN

Great images just work.

There's nothing as efficient as a great image for conveying emotion. Excitement, drama, conflict, hope - we get it, at a glance. What takes a paragraph to say, or minutes of video to convey, can be put across in an instant.

With the right photographer, you can reach people - it's as simple as that.

Photographing The Arts

Photographing The Arts

I've been photographing theatre, dance, opera, music and festivals full time for fifteen years, before which I worked in arts administration and lighting design. I've recently started a series of essays about photographing the arts - these are the most recent chapters!

The Qantas Heritage Collection at Sydney Domestic Terminal 3 - I wasn't kidding about the uniforms. Worth a visit just for these! #qantas #sydney #qantasheritagecollection #privatelounge #nooneherebutusmannequins

Hot tip for travellers: if you're flying out of Sydney T3 (Qantas Domestic), and don't have lounge access but want to kill some time, the Qantas Heritage Collection is double-glazed, has panoramic views, comfortable seating, and the fashions are magnificent...and there's never anyone there. Just sayin'. #qantas #sydney #privatelounge #donttryontheuniforms
