Michael Keegan-Dolan

[3] Based in the Irish-speaking Gaeltacht area of County Kerry in the south-west of the country,[9] its first work was Swan Lake/Loch na hEala, a reimagining of the Tchaikovsky standard that disregards the original score.

[10] Mám, with music by west Kerry concertina maestro Cormac Begley and Berlin orchestral collective Stargaze, debuted in Dublin in 2019.

[11] Described as a "mysterious, mythic" work,[12] it moves on from previous retellings of classic ballets and tales to build a work responding to the original music, with dancers' individual, stylised solos continually giving way to ensemble pieces.

It has also been performed in the United States, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan, in addition to a tour of regional arts venues in Ireland.

[15] Nobodaddy debuted in September 2024 at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, followed by runs at the Dublin Theatre Festival and Sadler's Wells in London.

His great-uncle, Edward Keegan, fought with the Irish Volunteers in 1916 and acted at the Abbey Theatre.
