Commissioned by An Post Witness History, and in association with Dublin Dance Festival, Embodied is a series of six new dance solos by female choreographers based in Ireland that calls attention to the role of women as initiators of change within Irish society. Over a course of three nights the performance journeyed through the original fabric of the GPO building and newly opened GPO Witness History Centre.

The Easter Sunday events begin at 11.30am on March 27th with the reading of the 1916 Proclamation under the GPO portico by a Defence Forces officer.  The President will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Ireland, followed by a minute’s silence for all those who died.  The national flag above the GPO will be raised to full mast and the national anthem played.  The parade, led by the Defence Forces in full military display, will begin at St Stephen’s Green, pass the GPO and continue to Parnell Square.  It will conclude with an Air Corps flypast and a 21-gun salute.
