#8 I am the Lord of the Dance, said she? | In the Irish dance world, there is no Prima Ballerina. If there was however, Ciara Sexton would be exactly her. The English born, now emerging Broadway director ironically resides in Limerick on the West Coast of Ireland. She has graced the stages as principal dancer in Riverdance, Lord of the Dance and Heartbeat of Home. Now in her early thirties, Ciara took her first Broadway choreography role in the brand new show Fainne Oir which premiered in fall 2019. A University of Limerick lecturer for the Irish World Academy, Ciara carries with her an incredible repertoire of dance experience starting with her 5x World Championship titles. It becomes apparent through the interview that Ciara may be one of a select few who rely on the almost infant, and quickly emerging world of Irish dance, as her bread and butter. Ciara discusses her first Broadway experience and talks about how she transitioned from dancer, her journey into the show world and now her jump into the world of theatre directing and choreography. Wearing many hats is often something discussed in relative depth within the show, and that is no different when discussing performing arts roles with Ciara. As her journey into that of a choreographer has unfolded she tells all about the challenges she has endured along the way and the opportunities she has taken to bring her to where she is today. Lighting design, costuming, casting, and relative budget squeezing are things that producers know all too well and Ciara is honest in her experience with these areas which in her debut Broadway show have handed over to her. As she expresses total humility in the performing arts arena, Ciara leads as a great example of an emerging talent armed with passion and integrity for not only her own art form but the evolution of arts itself. This episode will leave you with an opinion that it is possible to reach any stage with the right commitment and attitude.
