The Irish Itinerary Podcast
56. Breandán de Gallaí in conversation with Gyula Glaser (16 January 2025)
In his conversation with Gyula Glaser, Breandán de Gallaí discusses the very beginning of his interest in dance; the impact of Riverdance on Irish dancing; Irishness and how this is not a defining part of the dance form; the creation of his own choreographic voice and how his academic research helped him do this; and the reception of his work.
