Belltable: Connect presents Theatre Makers Showcase of Ideas

Belltable: Connect presents Theatre Makers Showcase of Ideas

In January, 13 theatre artists from around Ireland came together to create, collaborate and stretch their creative comfort zones. Showcase of Ideas is the culmination of this programme; Friday, June 30th and Saturday, July 1st at 8 pm, two nights of new theatrical pieces inspired by and created for Limerick.

New collaborative pieces conceived and created in Belltable Hub, are presented over two nights. From a movement and visual design reflection on the architecture of Ardnacrusha to a puppet and live performance show exploring Limerick’s connection with pigs to a brand new short play Three Mothers in Search of a Son. This collage of creative exploration offers glimpses of Limerick life in a brand new and exciting way.

Theatre Makers’ monthly meetings in Belltable Hub were mentored, guided and supported by playwright Deirdre Kinahan and director Lynne Parker, with master classes by leading Irish and international theatre gurus. Theatre Makers 2017 are Ann Blake, Caoimhe Dunn, Eadaoin O’Donoghue, Fionnuala Gygax, Henry Martin, Joan Somers Donnelly, Joanne Ryan, John Galvin, Liam McCarthy, Maeve Stone, Mags O’Donoghue and Rob Moloney.
