I will be fundraising on behalf of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières—MSF) this summer in Ireland from June 25 to July 25. This fundraiser, Dance For Darfur, will take me to thirty towns in Ireland and include Dublin and Belfast. I will be performing improvised dances with local musicians and dancers in each of the places I visit. The Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland are assisting me in contacting local musicians and dancers. This journey around Ireland will be on bicycle and average 25-30 miles each day. The funds will be raised in the United States and Ireland and will be distributed by MSF to support their humanitarian work in Sudan.<br /><br />I will post a daily blog of my journey and performances to those who have made contributions to <span style="font-style: italic;">Dance for Darfur</span>. BBC television will also cover part of my journey around Ireland and there will be information about Dance For Darfur in the local press.<br /><br />The towns and cities where I will perform include: Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Enniscorthy, Waterford, Youghal, Cork, Killarney, Torbert, Ennis, Galway, Ballinrobe, Balina, Sligo, Donegal Town, Letterkenny, Derry, Coleraine, Ballymena, Antrim and Belfast.<br /><br />Stay posted<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2023784360212014606-9071653392056005014?l=philip-johnston.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ptjohnsthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08304452214246635098noreply@blogger.com0
