darach9 is a new creative company based in Northern Ireland. Clare Novaes as artistic director of darach9, curates masterclasses for dancers and actors to work directly with some of the most respected and inspiring figures in movement arts, so that we can nurture the incredible talent we have here in Northern Ireland.
We aim to create a platform that connects local dancers and actors to masters in the fields of movement and performance to not only expand the horizons of local talent but also enrich the broader artistic community by fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and supporting the growth of artists at every stage of their careers.
Ultimately, at darach9, we want to ensure that the development of our artists is not just about the next class or the next performance, but about creating a long-term, sustainable environment for creativity to thrive—where knowledge, experience, and mentorship are shared generously, and where artists are empowered to grow into their fullest potential.
We would like to acknowledge the funding received from Innovate UK’s Creative Catalyst programme, which has been instrumental in bringing darach9 to life.
