No standing still for Firkin Crane's dancer in residence Laura Murphy

Supported by the Arts Council, Cork City Council, and the Firkin Crane, Laura Murphy is Cork’s Dancer in Residence at Firkin Crane for 2013/2014. Originally from Kinsale, this highly-qualified dance artist, performer and choreographer is bubbling over with ideas.

“The residency is three fold: Professional dance, community dance, and the development of my work as a dancer/choreographer, with the overall aim to promote professional dance practice in Cork.”

It is the second year in a row she has received this prestigious award, which means, she says delightedly, that she can continue some important projects and programmes she set up during 2012/2013. “There is so much more we can achieve.”
