The energy and exuberance of Irish dance comes to Dublin this weekend.

Do you need special skills to do something extraordinary? Or do you simply need passion? A drive to keep going when others would have stopped.

The energy and exuberance of Irish dance comes to Dublin this weekend.

Inside the walls of the Ohio Reformatory for Women, an art project is How portraits allow others to see us, and more importantly, change how we see ourselves.

Originating in Asia, falconry is the oldest sport known to man. In addition to falcons, hawks, eagles and owls are birds of prey trained to hunt for sport.

We're talking to a master falconer who lives here in central Ohio.

Guests:

  • Erin Rosati Ryan, Irish dance instructor
  • Sean Dwyer, internationally ranked Irish dancer
  • Kirsta Niemie Benedetti, artist
  • Joseph Dorrian, Executive Director of the Ohio School of Falconry
