What's On
Theatre
9th February 2010
'Soul Steps’ speaks the language of rhythm, bringing to life the centuries-old African tradition of telling stories through step dance. Using their entire bodies as percussive instruments, they trace the history of stepping from the South African gold mines of the 1880s to the slave plantations in the United States to today’s African American fraternities and sororities, where stepping is finding a resurgence. Combining dance, theater, and music into one, ‘Soul Steps’ offers a unique entertainment experience featuring a five-member cast.
Gallery
1st February 2010 to 26th February 2010
Ballymun Men’s Centre present a selection of work from the participants of ‘Photographic Techniques’; a FETAC Level 5 course.

This exhibition is a representative sample of their finished portfolios.
