This whole conversation is quote-able! I loved talking to you, Tura :)

Go raibh míle maith agat :)

Born in Zimbabwe, Tura moved to Ireland 31 years ago. His dance practice combines urban, traditional African, Irish music and dance. With dedicated study, Tura has in recent years become an accomplished Sean Nós (traditional Irish) dancer and Irish language and culture aficionado. The combination of these three traditions – African, urban street, and Irish, is a powerful and empowering reflection and celebration on diversity.

Primarily a dancer, choreographer and musician, Tura has expanded into production, music composition, journalism and screen-writing. As an activist and voice for the preservation of cultures, he is renowned for teaching urban dance, unlocking creativity and enabling diversity amongst young people. His dance, music, and movement company Artfrique has produced hundreds of performances, workshops and designed educational programs for nearly 30 years.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to talk to Conchobhar Ruadh (B.S.c Psychology), who is a hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and advocate of the Irish language. His work explores decolonisation and our relationship to an Ghaeilge. Conor is also a Gaeilgeoir raising his child through Irish and currently in his first year of a shamanic apprenticeship.

We speak about the healing nature of relearning our native tongue, and the antidote that is to intergenerational trauma, including addiction, shame, and pain. Conchobhar ardently extols the benefits of raising children through Irish. We emphasise renouncing perfectionism and throwing off the shackles of judgement and underconfidence in order to reach your potential.

Bainigí taitneamh as! Enjoy it!

Míle buíochas, a Chonchobhair

So much gratitude, Conchobhar

Our conversation touched on what it means to be Irish, the power of believing in yourself, and why Irish grammar needs dissection and dymystification!
