Artist Support - Paul Curley

Draíocht is thrilled to welcome writer and theatre maker Paul Curley to our Workshop Room this week.

Paul is back in the building developing a brand new theatre piece for young audiences (age 4-6 years) called DOTS. This collaborative new work will integrate film, illustration and audience interaction, bringing together director Ian Cameron (Scotland), illustrator Philip Kennedy and film maker Jose Miguel Jimenez. The work will continue to develop later this year with opportunities for children to consult on the form and content of the work.

Draíocht is recognised as a creative hub and laboratory space and invests significantly in the development of artist's practice by the provision of benefit in kind support such as space, technical support, admin/marketing support and specialist expertise. We offer a wide range of opportunities to artists i.e. commissions, residencies, artist studios/rehearsal space, co-productions, co-commissions, seed funding, mentoring.

Our Artist Support Series, launched during Covid-19, has helped 79 artists in 2020, 50 artists in 2021, 74 artists in 2022 and 53 artists in 2023, with the provision of free rehearsal and creative space. Space to rehearse, write, create, film, dance, think & plan ... whatever is needed!With thanks to our funders Fingal County Council & The Arts Council.
