The Movement Exchange Workshop

The Movement Exchange is giving a FREE WORKSHOP in the raucous style of BOUFFON COMEDY this Saturday March 19th from 1-5 in the Back Loft. This workshop will be given by Jaimie Carswell and Ciaran Taylor, Lecoq grad and director of the hit bouffon comedy “The Blanch”
Please RSVP to me so I have an idea of numbers.
What is it? Bouffon is a style of grotesque comedy where the performers exaggerate their behavour and physicality to the extreme, becoming hellish clowns whose absurd comic take on everyday life gives a vision into the hidden grotesqueness in us all. It’s raw, raunchy, offensive, and great fun. Come along and check it out!

See a clip of bouffons in action below or check out The Blanch yourself at the Mill Theatre, Dundrum on Friday the 18th at 8pm.

This workshop will involve a lot of movement so be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Also, bring pillows and cushions if you have them to pad out your bouffon bods. And once again, in the spirit of exchange, this workshop is FREE!

Come along, have fun, sweat, and get your bouf-on!

SCHOLA HYBERNIAE is a female ensemble specializing in plainchant and early polyphony. Hosted in the atmospheric raw environment of the Back Loft, this original performance promises to be a unique experience for the connoiseurs of gregorian chanting as well as for a new audience.

The group is also in great demand for liturgical celebrations and has sung at festive Eucharists, Carol Services and Vespers Services nationwide.The ensemble has a particular interest in chant from Irish manuscripts and they have performed at the monastic site of Glendalough as part of National Heritage Week, at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin as part of its Medieval Music Series and at the bi-annual Roscrea Conference celebrating Irish Saints and the Liturgy.

RawClassico is an in-house production of La Catedral Studios curated byFrances Marshall and is funded by the Arts Council under the Small Festival Scheme.

THE GREAT HUNGER - by Peter Duffy


Peter Duffy presents a one man show of The Great Hunger, by Patrick Kavanagh.

DATE:March 19th-Doors Open 7pm, show starts 7.30pm and finishes at 8.30pm, Donations welcome.

Peter Duffy will give a work-in -progress performance of The Great Hunger using the complete text of the poem (originally banned), incorporating sound, props and lighting....
After the performance the artist will be open to feedback and discussion.
The long epic poem is one of the great works of Irish literature and some feel is Kavanagh's masterpiece. With echoes of the "Great Famine" in the title and in the text, the poem concerns the life and struggles of the anti-hero and small farmer Patrick Maguire. A narrative poem,fully of lyrical beauty,drama,description,and mystical insight,it is an un-sentimental portrait of small farm life in 1930's Monaghan. It can still speak to us to-day,having great universal significance "
