Lucia Joyce: Full Capacity
Imagine misunderstood artist Lucia Joyce at Full Capacity!
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter), emulates Lucia's magical dance as captured by photographer Berenice Abbott in her iconic 1928 image of the promising young dancer posing in her transformative silver fish costume, inspired by a little-known link with WB Yeats.
Choreography by Megan Kennedy (www.junkensemble.com); Costume by Claire Garvey (www.clairegarvey.com); Original score after George Antheil by Conor Linehan; Camera by Brian O’Leary; Stills photography by Mella Travers; Edited by Aoife Carey. Produced, directed, and concept by Deirdre Mulrooney.
