NAF Dance is headed by Nóra Ní Anluain Fay who has grown up with a fusion of dance and theatre. This informed the language and tone of the company which was founded in 2022 and is primarily based between Ireland and the Netherlands.


Nóra Ní Anluain Fay

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR/CHOREOGRAPHER / PERFORMER

Nóra Ní Anluain Fay is a 2023 graduate of Fontys University Tilburg, the Netherlands in contemporary dance and choreography. She trained with Ireland’s leading youth dance and theatre companies growing up. She also acts as a performer, dramaturg, coach and movement director. She has worked professionally with choreographers such as Oona Doherty, Liz Roche, John Scott and John William Watson performing across Europe. Her own work focuses on the bridge between dance and theatre and transcends artistic disciplines by drawing from and infusing music, literature and film as. Her international choreographic debut was selected as the Dutch nomination piece for the Szoloduo Festival 2022 in Budapest. This cemented her movement language and tone of physical theatre and slapstick comedy while walking the line between humour and tragedy.
