Welcome to Speckled Egg Dance!

Speckled Egg Dance Company are a group of dance artists living and working in Galway, in the West of Ireland. We work collaboratively, durationally and interdependently to make and perform our own dance works. We have a fluid membership, with seven consistent core dancers, and several artists who move in and out of projects. You can see all of our company choreography here.

We work with Rachel Parry (artistic director) to make dances which reflect our experiences of life. Artistic integrity is central to all aspects of our work. We don’t have a permanent home for our dance practice but we are currently based at Westside library, where we’re making a screendance (funded by an Arts Council Project Award – 2024-’25). We’ve previously been hosted by The O’Donoghue Centre at the University of Galway, and at Blue Teapot Theatre (Galway). We often make and perform dances in outdoor locations around Galway. We are particularly interested in postmodern dance approaches and often use non-narrative frameworks, chance, task devices etc to make our work. All of the Speckled Egg dancers are engaged in artistic research into new ways of making dances (see our ‘Dance Works’ page for more information). We take workshops together, choreograph our own dance works, perform regularly, and lead workshops both locally and further afield.
