I will be fundraising on behalf of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières—MSF) this summer in Ireland from June 25 to July 25. This fundraiser, Dance For Darfur, will take me to thirty towns and cities in Ireland. I will be performing improvised dances with local musicians and dancers in each of the places I visit. The Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland are assisting me in contacting local musicians and dancers. I will be cycling around Ireland and average 20-50 miles each day. The funds will be raised in the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland and will be distributed by MSF to support their humanitarian work in Sudan. Suggested donations per performance begin at one British Pound, Euro, or US Dollar. Please join my mailing list for updates on my performances around Ireland. Donations are accepted at any time during the fundraising ride. 

I will post a daily Podcast of my journey and performances. BBC television will also cover part of my journey around Ireland and there will be information about Dance For Darfur in the local press.

The towns and cities where I will perform will include: Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Enniscorthy, Waterford, Youghal, Cork, Killarney, Torbert, Ennis, Galway, Ballinrobe, Balina, Sligo, Donegal Town, Letterkenny, Derry, Coleraine, Ballymena, Antrim and Belfast. Additional cities and towns will be added shortly.
