Echo Echo Festival Presents
'The Year in Ireland' by Edwina Guckian, Caitlín Nic Gabhann and Áirc Damhsa
Dancer Edwina Guckian hails from outside the village of Drumsna in Co. Leitrim. She learned her dancing from her mother and the local dancers of Leitrim and Roscommon. In 2004 Edwina established her dance club Áirc Damhsa which now has over 400 members, 11 teachers and is based in 9 counties. The following year she left her primary school teaching career to focus on her personal development in dance and the traditional arts. Since then, she has been awarded Leitrim County Council 'Arts Person of the Year', Arts Council's 'Next Generation Award' and 'Business Person of the Year' by the Irish Enterprise Board. Since 2016, with the support of The Arts Council of Ireland, Dance Ireland and Leitrim Arts Office she hosts 'Leitrim Dance Festival', supporting traditional percussive dancers from all over the world. She also organises many events in her community throughout the year such as the Effrinagh Crossroads Dance.
