         Swept         Toupees And Snare Drums

Swept

Synopsis:
a 40-minute dance duet for himself and Diane O'Keeffe, performed in the bar of the Peacock theatre, which produced the piece along with Bolger's own CoisCeim Dance theatre. Chairs and tables have been cleared out, and the audience follows the performers as the action moves throughout the space. Deceptively simple, it's a boy-meets-girl love story, infused with a playful and knowing regard for the everyday. Bolger and O'Keeffe are slender, attractive, and move well, but still look and move like ordinary people; they wear modified street clothes, including lettered T-shirts that say: "I am a dancer. This is my costume." She is a bored bar assistant, sweeping the floor, pacing, and hoisting herself on and off the counter with increasing impatience, accompanied by the sound of a ticking clock. He arrives looking for a drink, and they do a little dance-flirting until he is rewarded with a cold beer. Recorded music starts: they dance separately, stepping around, over and through brooms without letting go, before they get "swept away" by their attraction and start to dance together.
Karen Fricker, the Guardian

Toupees And Snare Drums

Synopsis:
In this collaboration of dance and Drama, with skin and hair flying, the story is told of one disastrous night at Dizzy Duffy's Dancehall during the heyday of the showband era. Dizzy's livelihood is threatened by rumours that a man with cloven feet has been seen dancing with the girls - and the boys - under his roof.
