Kicking off TIDC’s 35th Anniversary Season at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL

Trinity Irish Dance Company kicks off their 35th Anniversary Season at the Museum of Contemporary Art! Hailed as “impossibly complex” (The New York Times) and “sophisticated and commanding” (Los Angeles Times), TIDC celebrates Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard's unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation. Continuing TIDC’s longstanding history of pushing the boundaries of a cultural form through collaboration with artists of different movement genres, the Museum of Contemporary Art performances will include the world premiere of “The Sash,” choreographed by Trinity Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard, Associate Artistic Director and dancer Chelsea Hoy and guest contemporary choreographer Stephanie Martinez, alongside audience favorites and a diverse repertoire featuring a live band fronted by Killarney-raised, NYC-based Brendan O’Shea

Trinity Irish Dance Company

TRINITY IRISH DANCE COMPANY (TIDC) has significantly changed the direction and scope of Irish dance, re-introducing the art form as the phenomenon it is today. Founded in 1990, this innovative, nonprofit, repertory company was created to celebrate the pioneering work of Founding Artistic Director Mark Howard. Howard’s uniquely Irish-American company was the birthplace of progressive Irish dance, an innovative movement genre which “ushered in a new era for Irish step dance” (Chicago Tribune), opening new avenues of artistic freedom that led directly to commercial productions such as “Riverdance.”
