BIFEFestival ofArts

The BIFE Arts Festival got under way last week at Mermaid Arts Centre and continues with a terrific line up of theatre, music and dance showcasing the talents of the college students.

The opening event was a two-night run of the play ‘Attempts on Her Life’ by Martin Crimp.

The multi-media event mixed song, live TV and audience participation.

Then on Thursday, it was ‘Music Goes Live’ with a night of funk, rock and traditional styles as well as an album launch from the music performance course.

On Thursday and Friday, March 22 and 23, dance students present Limitless, a sensational and invigorating performance of dance and movement

This performance will feature diverse classical ballet, explosive jazz, contemporary dance and musical theatre. Well known repertoire and debut performances of original choreography by both students and tutors will also be featured.

Tickets are €5 and available at mermaidartscentre.ie.

This will be the fifth year of the festival which was founded in 2014.
