Dance theatre piece celebrates working class shipbuilders

'Launch Day' by Kelly-Abbott Dance Theatre, stages at the Droichead Arts Centre in Drogheda on 23rd February at 8pm. 'Launch Day' is a celebration of the working class and shipbuilding in all its industrial glory.
Inspired by the paintings of artist Alexander Millar, Kelly-Abbott Dance Theatre and Drogheda born choreographer Kristin Kelly-Abbott craft an exciting and powerful movement. The enchanting soundtrack features music by Mark Knopfler and Drogheda-based composer Breifne Holohan. Bringing to life Millar’s iconic characters - the 'Gadgies' – and British shipyard workers, Launch Day is touring England at present. It will have its Irish premiere at the Droichead.  
Co-commissioned by Dance City and Queen's Hall Hexham, tickets are €16/€14.
