Introduction
Of all the performances to emerge from Ireland - in rock, music, theatre
and film - nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle
of Riverdance.
20 years ago in May 1994 Riverdaqnce was first performed as the interval
actin the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin before being developed into
a full length stage show.
With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show
broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin in
early 1995. When the show transferred to London in June of that year,
the reaction was unprecedented, with the original 10 performances
being increased to 151 in subsequent months. There followed a hugely
successful tour to New York, Belfast and Cork. Since then, it has packed
theatres throughout North America, Oceania, Asia, Europe, South Africa
and most recently South America.
Riverdance has up to three companies on the road at any one time. All of
the touring companies are named after Irish rivers and 2014 sees the
Liffey Company touring throughout Europe including a major return
tour throughout the UK, the Foyle Company perform in Dublin’s Gaiety
Theatre for the successive 11th year, while the Moy Company embarks
on a ground breaking 60 city tour of China.
With music and lyrics by Bill Whelan, produced by Moya Doherty and
directed by John McColgan, Riverdance is the development of an original
idea by Moya Doherty, which was initially performed at the Eurovision
Song Contest held in Dublin in April 1994 as a seven-minute interval act.
It is an innovative and exciting blend of dance, music and song. Drawing
on Irish traditions, the combined talents of the performers propel Irish
dancing and music into the present day, capturing the imagination of
audiences across all ages and cultures.
Each of the companies consists of up to 55 cast and crew members,
with the remarkable Riverdance Irish Dance Troupe, the cream of Irish
musicians in the Riverdance Band and a spectacular array of talent from
Spain and America, performing to the magic of Bill Whelan’s music.
The wave of public enthusiasm is not only reflected by show attendances
but by massive commercial success as demonstrated in phenomenal sales
of the DVD, video and CD.

What does
Riverdance
mean?
The theme of the 1994 Eurovision was ‘The River’, as produced by
Moya Doherty. Bill Whelan took this theme as a starting point when
composing music for that seminal interval act.
Riverdance traces the life of a river.
The invocation sung at the start is called Cloudsong: it is the rain
falling, feeding the river, which springs to life and flows through the
land and out to sea. There, the cloud reforms and returns to the land,
nourishing, renewing and refreshing it. The constant refrain ‘uisce
beatha’ translates as ‘water of life’. The number builds from the gentle
song to the dancers’ feet rhythmically recalling a river gathering force
and rushing to the sea.
The choreography reflects this cycle. The riverwoman dances alone,
her soft-shoe dance evoking the flow of the river. As she crosses the
land, the earth, represented by the male dancer, awakens and bursts
forth onto the stage. As the strength of the river builds, so dancers
gather, signifying new life and energy, until the full Riverdance line
swells to fill the stage as the river meets the sea. Then earth and river
dance in harmony, as the water of life renews the land.
The river, from cloud to sea to cloud again, symbolises the life cycle, and
echoes the Irish experience of emigration and renewal: people who had
left their homeland and travelled across the sea, returned in the 1990s
to enrich Ireland with their talents and experience gained abroad.
The show as a whole builds on this idea, also exploring the way people
from different lands enrich the countries they emigrate to, bringing
with them their own culture, music and dance.
