I met up with Alice Twaite in the early evening at Gruel on Dame Street which is one of the best eateries we have been to - very cool, down to earth, no nonsense but decent grub...
Later we went along to Project Art Space in Temple Bar for 'Project Brand New Generation'. The theme was 'Future Histories, Historical Futures and The Present Day. 'Project Brand New' "is an initiative that exists to provide a framework for theatre, dance, music and live art practitioners to develop new work for the stage outside traditional production models" and offers artists the opportunity to put new ideas into practice at a developmental stage. 'Generation' consisted of a week-long intergenerational residency between younger and older artists. Artists were selected having submitted proposals exploring the theme of 'Future Histories, Historical Futures and The Present Day'. All of the artists were introduced to each other (and each other's proposals) on Monday. Artists then worked in small groups to develop collaborative pieces over the week and these were then performed on Saturday night. There were four short performances, all developing the theme(s) in a different way using the Project Art Space and facilities. I most enjoyed 'The Independent' by Susie Fournier, Shane Galvin and Fran O'Brien.
Sunday 30th May (Dublin, UK):
Unfortunately, I was scheduled to leave Dublin on Sunday as I needed to return to Norfolk UK, to then fly out to Washington DC on Tuesday. I have explained previously about the ashcloudsituation. I therefore took the 8.20am ferry from Dublin and docked at 11.45am at Holyhead. After an 'interesting' drive, I arrived back at Norwich at 6.30pm.
What I therefore missed were the 'Dawn Chorus' events and the 'Re-Live' performance at the Mill Theatre (one of the Re-Live organisers is a fellow WCMT Fellow Karin Diamond).
