TIME CHANGE: Tonight’s performance will start at 7:45 due to travel and equipment delays, but the Trinity dancers are committed to putting on a wonderful show for Fairbanks!

JIG, a Trinity Irish Dance Company production, is a fresh take on TIDC’s internationally renowned, alternative approach to a traditional form. In its premiere season, JIG will redefine what is possible for Irish music and dance. Centered by a live band, JIG will immerse audiences in an authentic experience that celebrates the power of vibrations, rhythm and movement.

Offering everything you expect and nothing you’d imagine, the Trinity Irish Dance Company brings a cutting-edge, integrity-filled vision to the stage. Founded in 1990 and called “sophisticated and commanding” by the Los Angeles Times and “impossibly complex” by the New York Times, TIDC has sold out tours in Asia and venues throughout North America, including Washington’s Kennedy Center, NYC’s Joyce Theater, and LA’s Royce Hall.

A dance legacy that is rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, TIDC celebrates founding artistic director Mark Howard’s unique vision to fuse vibrant Irish traditions with ever-evolving American innovation, dazzling with hard-driving percussive power and aerial grace while sending a clear message of female empowerment
