Seán Curran is a renowned contemporary artist and choreographer with an original background in Irish step dance, which has blossomed into his founding of Seán Curran Company and its 30 works of art. The company comes to Skirball this spring with two visionary works: PATH, which reflects on the ancient Spanish pilgrimage of the Camino de Santiago, and Everywhere All the Time, exploring the relationship between humans and nature. Both of these works align with Currans mission of engaging the public with dance through powerful emotional performance, and will surely leave audiences transformed after leaving the theater.

Interview with Sean Curran
“I do have this sense of responsibility of passing something on a love of dance history that really informs my process. Speaking in old language in a new way with a contemporary accent.”
