Goethe-Institut Irland approached me and my dance company to make a new work, Näher..closer, nearer, sooner for the 2018 opening of their new building on Merrion Square. From the start they were a brilliant team, full of energy and enthusiasm, realistic about what was possible but also really supportive in trying to realise the vision for the piece as it grew and grew. I felt that they were on the side of the piece from day one and that made all the difference when things got complicated, as they always do in the creation of original work. By the time the show opened, we felt like old friends.
