A creative art project by a dance school in Enniskillen is set to take place this week in the village of Swanlinbar.

'Anything to Declare' by Dylan Quinn Dance Theatre will run from July 25 to 27 in the village located in County Cavan and bordering County Fermanagh.

The project showcases five unique pieces of work presented by four commissioned artists over a period of two hours.

Composer and musician Rose Connelly, filmmaker Róisín Loughrey, composer and vocal artist Andy Garbi, and choreographer and dancer Dylan Quinn, will all exhibit a collection of work across various artistic mediums.

The event intends to encourage audiences to travel across the village.

The initiative is being conducted in two sections.

The first involved a Creative Artists Residency overseen by Irish choreographer Liz Roche in Swanlinbar from May 2 to 5, where dancers and musicians joined forces for initial research.

The second phase involves the commissioning of artists who will be presenting their work throughout Swanlinbar.

Mr. Quinn, the programme director, said the project encourages reflection on the border between the north and the south of Ireland.

He said: “We are delighted to be bringing Anything to Declare to Swanlinbar, it is a special opportunity to bring the performing arts to a rural village.

“Throughout the performance we hope the audience explores a conversation about the border poll.

“This project could be presented anywhere along the border in any border town north or south, Swanlinbar is an excellent example of how the border has impacted on this community.”

The project aims to shed light on the border's profound impact on border communities without lobbying for a particular position.

The artists will reflect on the sociocultural, political, emotional, geographical, and natural aspects of the issue over three evenings.

The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon funded the project.
