Abstract
In this chapter, Meehan reflects on a practice as research project revisiting the archives of Dublin Contemporary Dance Theatre (DCDT), the first state-funded contemporary dance company in Ireland that ran from 1979–1989. Despite the important role that DCDT played in developing contemporary dance in an Irish context, very little has been researched or written about their work to date. One key aim of this project is to examine the knowledge revealed by revisiting DCDT’s archival materials through practice, focusing on the choreography Lunar Parables (1983). It considers what the ‘embodied archive’ of the performers can uncover about the company’s work, and what this reflects about Irish contemporary dance history and culture.
