The Centre for Contemporary Art Derry~Londonderry is delighted to announce In the a.m. A performance by dance artist Maíre Morrison. This is a Public Programme event for The Night Journal, CCA's current exhibition, which runs until 19 December 2026.

In the a.m. is a contemporary dance performance made in response to CCA's current exhibition The Night Journal. The performance uses movement to connect and explore the artwork and themes in the exhibition. Considering what happens to the body, mind and sense of time when the rest of the world is asleep. Looking at the different ways in which we can exist in the early hours of the morning — in sleep or sleeplessness, in solitude or connection, in comfort or in restlessness.

This event is free, but booking is essential. To secure your spot in the audience for this one off performance book here. Everyone is welcome!
