Though we learn primary colours at an early age, what they are and how they mix can still be a bit of a mystery! These innovative workshops with dance facilitator Mark Rogers will mix dance and visual arts in an educational and exciting way to explore primary colours in such as way that students will remember them … for a while!

D15 Youth Theatre will shortly be entering into its second term of its first year. Working with Eimear Morrissey, Mark Rogers and Ann Ryan, this talented group of 13-18 year olds meet in Draíocht every Tuesday evening and work on many elements of theatre from improvisation to Stanislavski technique to dance. From March the group will begin to work towards a piece of theatre that will explore what they have learned over the course of the term. If you would like to find out more about Youth Theatre, what it is and how to get involved next year please contact sarah@draiocht.ie or log on to the D15 Youth Theatre Facebook page for updates.
