Article Abstract:
A dance critic describes writing for The Sunday Tribune in Dublin, Ireland, between 1984 and 1992. There was a constant sense of movement as new companies and projects were begun and discontinued and dancers moved in search of work. Her column received generous space in the newspaper, but dance was not added to the Sunday Tribune Art Awards until 1989. She found traditional Irish dancing to be a unique expression of Irish character and the most promising source of an Irish theatre dance style.
