From an Ireland in the 1970s to the present day, How to be a Dancer in Seventy-two Thousand Easy Lessons is a dance and theatre, music ritual that bends boundaries between what is lived and what is remembered, between history, destiny, fact and fantasy.  

Written and choreographed by Michael Keegan-Dolan and directed by life-time collaborators, dancer Rachel Poirier and lighting designer, Adam Silverman, How to be a Dancer in Seventy-two Thousand Easy Lessons, has toured nationally and internationally and was nominated for a Sky Arts Award in 2024.
