Within his professional practice Rob Heaslip works internationally as a choreographer, dancer, movement director and teacher. He creates his own ensemble work as well as collaborative works, spanning dance theatre, live performance, installation, dance-on-screen.
He also works in T.V. & Film. Rob began his career with the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, training at both the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance and the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at The University of Limerick. As an artist he is interested in how he can re-imagine human rituals for the viewer of today; abstracting the performing body as a vessel for intertwining dance, voice and design. His style combines movement and theatricality with mythos, neon lights, synth music and contemporary aesthetics to portray stories about people, how they think, move and act amongst each other. Rob’s work has been presented in Ireland, U.K., U.S.A., Sweden, Spain, Germany and China, with highlights including The Made In Scotland Showcase at Edinburgh Fringe, Tanzmesse Dusseldorf, Dublin Dance Festival, AGITART, and Dance International Glasgow. Rob was elected to the board of Dance Ireland in September 2022. |
