LUCIA DANCES

Based on the life story of James Joyce’s daughter Lucia Light Theatre Company is developing an Immersive Dance Drama.

A promising dancer in 1920’s Paris Lucia was trained by Isadora Duncan’s brother Raymond in what was known as ‘Rhythmic Dancing’, Lucia was beginning to be noticed by critics and the press but, just as her name became known not as James Joyce’s daughter but as a name in her own right, for reasons that are not entirely clear, she stopped dancing and spent most of the rest of her life in therapy and institutions.

The project has been part funded to date by the Go Succeed programme and continues to be supported by the DfC and Future Screens NI.
