Summer Happenings

It's all go here with the gang at Just Breathing! We had a great time performing to 'Human Nature' for the recent Michael Jackson tribute night in the Daghdha Church. A night full of great music and dance. Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support it. You can check out some of the photos from the night here. Photos by Dolf Patijn for www.ilovelimerick.com

We've started preparations for our next photo shoot and are really excited to be teaming up with photographer Galvin Abercrombie once again. Take a look at some of his previous work with us here:

Michael Jackson - Tribute to the King of Pop

Right now we are busy in rehearsals for the Limerick Artists' "Michael Jackson - Tribute to the King of Pop" event that takes place on June 25th in the Daghdha church, John's Square, Limerick. Loads of performances on the night and the band are sounding great so it promises to be a really fun event! Tickets are €12 and are available from Epic Cafe on Denmark St.

ka-lei-do-scope and Catherine Street Cultural Dig 2011

It's been a busy month here at Just Breathing and we have just finished our first exhibition which launched the ka-lei-do-scope project. ka-lei-do-scope will comprise of a series of photographic projects depicting ballet taken out of it's normal setting and brought to the street. ka-lei-do-scope for CatDig 2011 was the third part of this series which has already seen us dancing in People's Park and in the snow outside the Hunt Museum.

We were really excited to be a part of this year's Catherine Street Cultural Dig. CatDig, which is now in it's  second year, is a wonderful weekend that brings music, dance, art, crafts, poetry & more together. Unfortunately the weather was against us over the weekend and we couldn't perform. Rain and pointe shoes don't mix! But we spent the weeks leading up to the CatDig working with some amazing photographers and dancers (and one very obliging German Shepherd!) exploring every part of Catherine Street. The exhibition took place over the weekend of the CatDig in Fine Wines on Catherine Street and the photos are now available to be seen on our Facebook page.

We like to.....Move It!

We're busy here planning our next few projects but for now Krystal & Mags of Just Breathing are heading off to London this weekend to attend Move It. Move It is the UK's largest live dancing experience with classes, performances, exhibitions, shopping and much much more. We've booked into a number of classes in styles including ballet, hip hop, tap, zumba, contemporary, jazz, South Asian dance and Bollywood so we're looking forward to having lots of new ideas and experiences to incorporate into our own work when we come back.

You can find information on this year's Move It here. Move It 2011
It is always an excellent weekend and we highly recommend it for anyone interested in dance.

Just Breathing is looking for....you!

Firstly, we'd like to thank all the amazing photographers who have contacted us over the past few weeks. We look forward to working with you all over the coming year and will be in touch with you all soon.

We are now looking for dancers and models (preferably with dance experience) to join us. Currently we are looking for 3-4 male dancers/models for a shoot. For this particular shoot you must be over 18 and available to work in the Limerick area. Please email your contact info and a photo to justbreathingarts@gmail.com

We would also love to hear from stylists, hair stylists and make up artists who would be interested in working with us. Unfortunately we cannot offer any financial pay for this work at the moment but it would be well suited to a student or someone looking to boost their portfolio.  Again, send on your info to justbreathingarts@gmail.com

Finally, we want to give a mention to a Limerick Tango event taking place in Limerick this weekend. Limerick Tango are hosting an Argentine Tango workshop for couples this Sunday Feb 13th in The Strand Hotel from 2pm. You can find the info here:

Emily from Just Breathing will be there working with Neville Gawley on this workshop and it promises to be a great day for all involved.

Just Breathing in Insight Magazine

Earlier this year Mags talked with Jennifer O'Connor from Insight Magazine about how Just Breathing got started and about our plans for the future. The interview is included in the February issue of Insight available in many stores throughout Co. Limerick and in Gleeson's Spar on Henry St and Catherine St in the city.

What Insight said about us:

'With an emphasis on fun and accessibility, it's easy to see why Just Breathing is helping to make dance even more available to all. And the newly established dance company has been causing quite a stir on the streets of Limerick city.'

It's great to see another new Limerick venture like Insight doing so well. It's a really good magazine and definitely worth checking out. 

Work with Just Breathing

We are now looking for photographers, dancers, models, stylists, hair and make-up artists to join our database. If you are interested in getting involved in some of our projects please get in touch. You must be over 16 and in the Limerick area or available to travel here. The majority of this work will be unpaid but will be good experience for students or those starting out in the business and we will do our part in making sure your work gets seen by as many people as possible.
