Four new postage stamps celebrating Irish contemporary dance have been unveiled by An Post to coincide with this year’s Dublin Dance Festival.
The diamond-shaped stamps feature performers from four contemporary dance companies – Dance Theatre of Ireland, Coiscéim Dance Theatre, Fabulous Beast and the Irish Modern Dance Theatre.
The 55 cent stamps were designed by Ger Garland.
Artists from 17 countries will take part in the Dublin Dance Festival at venues throughout the capital, including the Abbey Theatre, from May 11th to May 26th.
Tickets and information are available at dublindancefestival.ie.
The stamps are available in sets of four and as part of an eight-stamp booklet costing €4.40 at main post offices, the GPO and online at irishstamps.ie.
