Irish Modern Dance Theatre is a Dublin based Modern Dance company. It was founded by John Scott in 1991〔(Irish Playography Member Page )〕 with the aim of creating, commissioning and expanding dance experience in Ireland. ==Background== Irish Modern Dance Theatre (IMDT) was founded in 1991 by Dublin born choreographer John Scott.〔(Dance Ireland Member John Scott )〕 In 1992 the company launched its first production, a piece called ''Beneath the Storm''. Many IMDT works have premiered in Dublin's Project Arts Centre, including ''Next to Skin''. ''Next to Skin'' was described as an attempt to take dancers of different backgrounds and languages including Arabic, Persian, French, German and Kabaye, and produce a "stream of consciousness, describing what the other dancers are doing,".〔Catherine Foley,(Straying Far From The Hearth ), Irish Times, 19/01/08〕 Throughout the 90's IMDT had a number of shows that featured in the Dublin Theatre Festival such as ''Dance for Another Place'' in 1994, followed by ''Ruby Red'' in 1995,〔(Dublin Theatre Festival Programme Archive )〕 and ''Dance for the Bees'' in 1997. In the 2000s IMDT's continue to feature in festivals all over Ireland, making appearances in the International Dance Festival of Ireland in 2003 with ''Last Supper'' and 2006 with ''Close-Ups'', and the Eigse Carlow Arts Festival in 2007 with ''Rhythmic Space'',〔(Carlow's New Ty Vision ), Irish Times, 3/3/10〕 and the Kilkenny Arts Festival that same year with ''This Dancing Life''.〔(Kilkenny Festival Goes Cosmopolitan ), Irish Times〕〔Michael Parsons (Power Set To Be Talk of the Town ), Irish Times, 10/08/07〕 ''This Dancing Life'' had a performance time of 4 hours, the aim being to have audience members leave the performance and come back later, with one reviewer saying "I've never walked out of a performance that I liked, but Sara Rudner's This Dancing Life is as much about not being there as being there. She doesn't really want audiences to sit through the four hours of dance".〔MIchael Seaver (), Irish Times, 22/08/07〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Irish Modern Dance Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
