Bog Ballet is an interdisciplinary dance and sound project devised from Rob King’s poetry collection Keeping Track. The work explores Irish bogland as both landscape and metaphor, developing a new movement language called “Bog” inspired by sinking ground, resistance, and shifting balance. Blending contemporary dance and ballet with live sound, the piece follows a lone rural figure navigating a changing terrain of labour, memory, and endurance. Created by Dylan Mc Gloin in collaboration with musician and performer Brian F. Devaney, the project has received early support from Sligo County Council’s Live/Work/Play Scheme and a Shawbrook Residency, and will be presented at the Irish Choreographers Festival 2026, supported by John Scott and Irish Modern Dance Theatre.
