PROJECTARTS

CENTRE



As we rocket to midway through 2013 we

have begun to take stock of the year so far at

Project – more audiences than ever are visiting

the centre, taking part in our performance and

visual art programmes. In April, Project Arts

Centre, with the support of our partners at the

Arts Council, Culture Ireland, Fáilte Ireland and

Dublin City Council, welcomed almost 600 of

our performing arts colleagues from across

the globe as part of the IETM Spring Plenary

Meeting. This was an incredible opportunity to

showcase our amazing artists, the working cul-

tural quarter that is Temple Bar and, of course,

our fantastic city. I was also proud to host our

first Community Day, throwing open the doors

of the building to our audiences and the local

community to experience the centre in new

ways. We will be doing more of these events in

the future, so keep an eye on our new website

which will be launched later in the summer.

We have a wonderful programme

for you this summer at Project Arts Centre –

beginning with Landmark Productions Howie

the Rookie written and directed by Mark

O’Rowe and featuring a stellar performance

from Tom Vaughan-Lawlor; I am thrilled to

follow this with our co-production with the

Everyman Cork of Carmel Winters’ explosive

new play, Best Man. Fresh from its premiere

at Cork Midsummer Festival, this is a wonder-

ful opportunity to see the work of a writer who

is taking the theatre and film world by storm.

Not to be missed is Ether Productions’

new show Landfall. They really blew me

away with their production during the Dublin

Fringe Festival last year so I am thrilled to be

presenting their new show.

We welcome back AC Productions with

another hilarious take on Shakespeare with

their new production of Twelfth Night. I am also

delighted to welcome a new company to Project

Arts Centre; Polish Theatre Ireland with their pro-

duction of Foreign Bodies by Julia Holewinska.

In our gallery we present a major solo

exhibition of work by Mexican artist Mario

García Torres. This large-scale survey show

will evolve into 4 exhibitions, giving you an op-

portunity to experience his beautiful artworks

and see the breath of his work and vision. In

September, we will following this with a solo

show by Dutch artist Jennifer Tee, featuring a

host of new works gleaned from her travels

and exhibitions across the world which have

been created especially for this show.

A small number of our beautiful editions

from Niamh O’Malley’s recent exhibition Gar-

den are still available for purchase; this is the

first time Project has produced this type of work

in a number of years and it is a great way for

you to support the artists with whom we work

and to own the work of one of Ireland’s major

up-and-coming artists.

In September we will be hosting the Dub-

lin Fringe Festival and then the Dublin Theatre

Festival – our busiest, most exciting time of the

year. The festivals have incredible work lined

up for you at Project Arts Centre and we will

be sharing their programmes with you later in

the summer. I hope you will join us for some

of these fantastic events and I look forward to

welcoming you to Project in the coming months.

Dusk Ahead by junk ensemble

JUL—SEPT 2013

Last week I attended the ‘All

Ireland Performing Arts Conference’

curated by Maureen Kennelly, run

by Theatre Forum Ireland and NITA,

Northern Ireland.

The theme of this year’s conference

was ‘Change’. Over two days I had the

opportunity to take the time to listen to

speakers and panellists to consider the key

changes in how performance work is made,

presented and seen. What this offers me

(and those who attend) is the time to meet

with colleagues from around the country

to discuss shared problems and issues and

to talk about how each of us is working to

overcome them. It gives us valuable time to

think and reflect resulting in a kind of renewal

of thought and most importantly of energy.

A speaker who stood out for me was

Declan McGonagle, Director of The National

College of Art & Design, Dublin. He spoke

about what are the true drivers of change;

the economy, demographics, location and

audience (both demand and behaviour). He

highlighted that two of the most important

drivers are accountability and relevance,

believing from experience that ‘intent’ is key.

Project established our associate artists

programme in 2005 in order to develop and

change the diversity of work we present – to

protect and support a number of individuals

and their artistic impulse. In 2011 we renamed

the initiative Project Catalyst to give a better,

more clear representation of how we view

the artists we work with. Our Catalysts

are agents and leaders of change. Their

work will not fix societal ills, or heal us as

individuals but they do confront the issues

and concerns relevant to all of us, helping

us to better understand and potentially re-

imagine how things could or should be.

I am interested in how we engage

in evolutional and revolutional change.

THEATREclub recently made the following

provocative statement; ‘Revolution is a

change of mind’, a call to action to consider

how we engage with performance. To

engage with any art work involves action

and active participation. Each audience

member brings their own belief system

and history. To quote scientist Peter Senge,

‘People don’t resist change they resist

being changed’. At Project Arts Centre, we

are interested in what our artists think and

how that influences or inspires others. Our

audiences are key.

In the coming three months we are

supporting the making of new work by junk

ensemble’s Jessica and Megan Kennedy,

Making Strange Theatre Company’s Megan

Riordan and THEATREclub, Doireann Coady,

Grace Dyas and Shane Byrne.

junk ensemble are already in the

rehearsal room with a great team of artists

working on Dusk Ahead which has been



10 / 11

commissioned by and will premiere at

Kilkenny Arts Festival. In this work they will

investigate blindness and invisibility and

are particularly interested in exploring ways

of seeing or perceiving things – things that

may not be there or may not exist. They

are interested in the move from domestic

to wild, dusk being the hour between dog

and wolf. With each new work, Jessica

and Megan never fail to create something

extraordinarily beautiful – something

different, striking and bold. When you sit

and feel their work you are brought into a

new environment, you are transported and,

by the end, transformed. I can’t wait to see

this work because I just can’t resist being

brought on a journey by this talented duo.

Megan Riordan is creating a piece

called You Remember the Stories You

Wish Were True for this year’s Dublin

Fringe Festival. Megan is from the US

(although recently she proudly became

an Irish Citizen so luckily I now proudly

and officially call her one of us!). Her

starting point for the piece was the

personal loss of the contents of a storage

unit, and consequently every single item

from a four year period of her life. Since

then Megan has been looking at how to

reclaim memories and has researched the

neurobiology of memory, learning and

change. She has become fascinated by

how remembering something is to change

it but to not remember is to lose it entirely.

I’ve worked with Megan for five years

and she manages with each new work to

charm me with her unique outlook and

perspective on life. But be warned, Megan’s

charm is not shallow. She uses it to great

effect. While Megan tells you about herself,

in a real and honest way, she manages to

disarm you, leading you to carefully look

and ask real questions of yourself. Keep

an eye out for the Dublin Fringe Festival

programme launch on 14 August and grab

a programme to make sure you get a

ticket – it’s one not to miss!

THEATREclub’s History is a two

year long Dublin City Council’s public

art commission for St Michael’s Estate.

THEATREclub make contemporary socially

engaged performance with and for

communities. For the past twelve months

they have worked with people from St

Michael’s Estate workshopping and writing

with activists groups, groups for those in

additction treatment, women’s development

groups and family support organsiations

as well as a group for marginalised young

people. The production will discuss Irish

Nationalism around a week in 1916 in

Richmond Barracks, it will juxtapose the

lives of the people of Keogh Square with

the reality in Goldenbridge and will end

looking at the struggle for regeneration

led by revolutionary community leaders.

Doireann, Grace and Shane are three

power houses and when you put them

JUL—SEPT 2013

together, especially with their ensemble

(Ger Kelly, Lauren Larkin, Barry O’Connor,

Gemma Collins and Louise Lewis) their

work is explosive. Working with them and

watching their work is like being on a roller

coaster. At the end of each ride you feel like

you’ve participated in what is a thrilling

and active act of hope which you just have

to do again.

The work we support is made by

people for people and one of the most

important things in the work we do is that

we entertain while also posing questions

and provoking thought. In order for real

change or for revolution to succeed

it requires action from the majority.

It requires trust which in turn builds

relationships. It forces people together to

stand up for what they believe in. It is not

just dressing but politics itself.

Producer of Project Catalyst

The Irish Times

“Magnificent … truly brilliant”

Entertainment.ie

“It feels like must-see theatre, and it is”

Arena

Three hearts poundin’ loud, three lungs,

pairs of lungs, suckin’ louder, suckin’ hard.

Then softer, then calmer, then quieter.

Then quiet.

The Howie begins the story. The

Rookie concludes it. Mark O’Rowe’s elec-

trifying, epic tale is a wild, urban odyssey

through a nightmare landscape – hilarious,

grotesque and, finally, deeply moving.

Meet Ladyboy, a psychotic thug on a

quest to avenge the deaths of his Siamese

fighting fish. Meet malodorous adrenaline-

junkies Flann Dingle and Ginger Boy. Meet

Avalanche, a ski-panted monster looking

for love. Meet the tragic Mouse. Meet the

scabies-afflicted Peaches. Meet the Howie.

Meet the Rookie.

Howie the Rookie was first produced

in 1999 and took the theatrical world by

storm. Now this brilliant play receives

a major new production from one of

Ireland’s leading theatre producers.

Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, star of RTÉ’s

Love/Hate, plays both Howie and Rookie.

Brace yourself for an adrenaline-filled

theatrical odyssey.

“[Carmel Winters] … an exciting new

voice in Irish theatre.”

Written by Carmel Winters

Directed by Michael Barker-Caven

Starring Derbhle Crotty, Peter Gowen,

Bryan Murray and Una Crawford O’Brien

“Don’t think for one minute I’m going to

just disappear and let the two of you play

happy families … That is not the deal here,

that is so not the deal!”

High-flying real estate agent Kay

Keane isn’t just earning a living for her

family, she’s making a killing. Meanwhile,

her husband and would-be novelist,

Alan, is staked out at home, minding

their children and earning ‘pin money’ by

writing best man speeches. Juggling the

modern-day demands of job and family

is not easy, but this sparring pair seem to

have arrived at a win-win situation. That is

until Marta moves in. Hired to take care of

their children so that Alan can finally write

his novel, this sexy, straight-talking Bolivian

nanny brings buried tensions to the fore. As

Kay stingingly observes, soon the entire

house is ‘smoking with lust for Nanny’.

Best Man is a devastatingly funny

play about family wars and the wreckage

caused when estranged parents compete

for the spoils of property – and children …

This bold new play from award-

winning playwright Carmel Winters deals

with the near-taboo topics of sex, power

and parentage within modern relationships.

Set in the intoxicating height of the boom

and, finally, the sober fall of the bust, Best

Man prompts a public reckoning of our

most private struggles as questions of

power within the family are examined with

scorching insight.

Following the nationwide success of

the B for Baby tour by the Abbey Theatre,

we are delighted to present a new play

from one of Ireland’s most exciting writers.

Foreign Bodies is the story of Adam,

a political hero fighting with commu-

nism in Poland. He is a perfect hus-

band, a good friend and a role-model

for others. But no-one knows that he is

a female trapped in his own male body.

So after the fall of communism in 1989,

when Poland gains political freedom,

he changes sex and turns into Ewa.

Now, as Ewa, she must struggle with

social rejection, poverty and solitude

in a new, capitalist country.

Mixing past with present, Ewa

discovers the dual imprisonment of an

individual in two political systems …

Praise for Ether Production’s

“Ether Productions is one to watch,

and Mirror, Mirror is unmissable.”

Irish Times

sheer ingenuity”

Choreography by Niamh Creely,

Aisling Ní Cheallaigh, Jonathan Walsh

and Timmy O’Sullivan

and Jonathan Walsh

When they’ve taken the floor beneath

your feet, there’s nothing to do but fly.

Experience an exciting slice of airborne

circus theatre in Ether’s brand new

show, Landfall.

Four characters find themselves

in an impossible situation – they have

nothing to stand on. Suspended in a post-

apocalyptic landscape, a wild girl, a wistful

opera singer, a forlorn gardener and an

errant business man find themselves at

close quarters. There is hope – a garden,

glimpsed far off and out of reach. But can

they get there?

In Landfall the spectacular meets

the intimate and the dramatic meets the

comic with impressive acrobatic feats

and physical storytelling. Aerial circus

equipment – hoop, rope, silks, chains –

appear from floating, ragged sections

of building as Ether weaves wonder

from chaos in this breath-taking aerial

performance. Watch Ether speak volumes

without saying a word. Take your place in

Landfall as Ether forgets how to walk and

learns how to fly.

Ether Productions was founded in January

2012. The company’s debut performance

was the aerial circus show Mirror, Mirror,

commissioned for the Drogheda Arts

Festival in May, 2012. Ether then created

a highly successful further development

of Mirror, Mirror for ABSOLUT Fringe 2012,

where it won critical acclaim.

Shakespeare’s King John is a fast-

extraordinary speeches, unforgettable

characters, and thrilling battle scenes –

so why don’t we see this play per-

formed more often?

Director Aoife Spillane-Hinks and

actor Jane Brennan experiment with

form to present a work-in-progress

showing of their King John project.

A unique opportunity to watch

an ensemble cast of Irish actors in the

process of taking on a rarely staged

but riotous political drama.

Curated by Tessa Giblin

The gallery will be transformed with intricate woven floor

pieces, talisman-like sculptures and a hint of performance, in

an exhibition of new work made for Project Arts Centre. The

exhibition expands on her fascination with cultural identity,

ritual and spirituality, to create a unique environment which

blurs the line between art and object, the exotic and the banal, in

an attempt to align the mind, body, and spirit all in one space.

Jennifer Tee (b.1973, Arnhem) lives and works in Amsterdam.

Her practice includes sculpture, installation, performance, pho-

tography and collages. Jennifer Tee has made solo exhibitions

in recent years at Eastside Projects, Birmingham (2010), Galerie

Fons Welters, Amsterdam (2009), Artspace, Sydney (2005),

Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Museum voor Moderne Kunst,

Arnhem, (2003), Art Foundation Xiamen, Frankfurter Kunstv-

erein (both 2002). A selection of group exhibitions include: Six

Possibilities for a Sculpture, La Loge, Brussels (2013); Beyond

Imagination, Stedelijk Museum (2012); Secret Societies, Schirn

Kunsthalle; The Dutch Identity?, Museum de Paviljoens, Almere

(both 2011); The Knight’s Tour, Museum de Hallen, Haarlem

(2009). Jennifer Tee has also participated in the Prague Triennale

(2008), Auckland Triennial (2007), Gwangju Biennale (2006) and

the Sao Paulo Biennial (2004).

You are welcome to join us, along with the artist, for the

opening of this exhibition, Jennifer Tee (NL), from 6pm – 8pm,

on Thursday 29 August.

A simple idea created through complex means: eight decades of experience; unmatched knowledge of coffee biology and chemistry; unrivalled skill at roasting; the pioneering of innovative, enabling technologies; and a family’s entrepreneurial passion.

There is a taste, a feel, an aroma that is all illy’s own. Velvety, immediately sweet, delicately balancing floral and fruity notes with caramel, toast and chocolate, naturally fragrant with aromas of almond and honey. You just might hold the sugar, for the very first time.

This is balance that comes only from a blend: the singular illy blend of nine highest-order Arabica beans, selected and directly purchased by illy from farms spanning four continents. Each individual bean contributing to a greater whole, for the pleasure of those who appreciate all that coffee can and should be.

In the cup, the illy blend becomes a symphony: rich, full, multi-faceted, yet subtle, comprised of immensely talented soloists, each coaxed to their finest performance under the hand of an expert conductor.

Food Solutions are the Irish distributors of illy. www.coffee-ireland.com
