We are Honey & Lemon
From a small emerald isle…
Honey & Lemon are multidisciplinary entertainers who experiment with the expectations of dance, voice and film. Founded as a creative partnership in 2020 by artists Millie Daniel-Dempsey and Amy Robyn Lyster, Honey & Lemon is built on a decade of friendship and started as a desire to centre themselves and other women artists in the conversation. Millie & Amy started working together while training professionally in dance in the UK and have each been developing their own practice in Ireland, the UK and Europe as independent performers, makers and facilitators since then. These wide-ranging experiences have a strong impact on their work today, bringing together influences from collaborations and independent projects across the creative spectrum.
Honey & Lemon are currently Dance Artists in Residence at Mermaid Arts Centre in partnership with Wicklow Arts Office. In 2023-24, they were in residence at The Civic Theatre. They were 2023 recipients of the Assemble Bursary from Axis Arts Centre, following their time as Dance Artists in Residence at the venue in 2022 and Offsite Artists with the support of Irish Theatre Institute and CoisCéim Dance Theatre. They are previous recipients of the Dance Ireland Mentored Residency Award, which began their ongoing relationship with their mentor, Lea Anderson MBE. Their work has been performed at Dancer From the Dance Festival, Five Lamps Arts Festival and Project Arts Centre.
