PROGRAMME
JAN—MAR
2013
Welcome to Project Arts Centre and our
new online brochure. This new expanded
brochure is part of a complete review of
all our communications with audiences
and artists alike. This brochure will offer
you the chance to delve deeper into
our programme, learn more about our
upcoming events and the fantastic artists
presenting their work at Project Arts Centre.
In 2012 over 70,000 people visited
Project Arts Centre; we presented over
500 events between our performing arts
spaces and gallery and employed over
350 artists.
Project Arts Centre is not only the
home for the independent sector it is
also the only space in Dublin City Centre
where emerging artists, both young and
old, can find their voice and hone their
craft. For me Project Arts Centre is an
essential part of the cultural life of our city
(nation even) and I am very much looking
forward to commissioning, producing
and programming work to engage all our
present fans as well as people who have
yet to discover us.
The programme at Project Arts
Centre for January–March is a rich
variety of artists and art-forms, reflecting
the breadth of work being developed
and presented by the artists who call
‘Project’ their home. We welcome the
return of artists who have presented here
many times as well as new artists and
companies with new things to say and
new ways of saying it. From new plays to
opera, exhibitions, fabulous new dance
works, comedy, fantastic international

music to a festival of work by over 100
young artists, there is something for
everyone in our upcoming season.
Later in 2013, we look forward
to presenting some incredible work as
part of Live Collision and Dublin Dance
Festival, a new production from Project
regulars Rough Magic, a beautiful new
solo show in our gallery by Irish artist
Niamh O’Malley, a revival of a Dublin
Fringe Festival hit Broadening and in
June, a major new production from
Landmark Productions and writer Marc
O’Rowe. I am particularly proud to be
hosting IETM Dublin from April 11–14.
IETM is a large contemporary performing
arts network and we look forward to
welcoming 600 of our colleagues from
across the globe to introduce them to
the city of Dublin and the fantastic artists
making work here.
Project Arts Centre has a long
history as an artist centred and audience
focused space; it is a place where the
artistic community meets the public
and each other and I hope over the
coming year to charm, thrill, engage
and challenge you with some of the best
Irish and international work and present
you not only to our great artists but also
introduce you to the artists of our future.
On behalf of all the staff, I’d like to
wish you a happy and prosperous new
year and look forward to welcoming you
back to Project Arts Centre in 2013.

JAN—MAR 2013
www.projectartscentre.ie
It’s the start of a new year and
another in which I am refusing to
listen to reports or read articles that
focus on the challenges facing the
Irish economy. More than just an
economic crisis, we’ve been faced
with a crisis of value. It’s now time
to work out ways to re-establish
trust, to restore some hope and to
take the opportunity to seek out a
real and meaningful way forward.
Project Arts Centre believes that art not
only entertains but also provokes thought.
Art touches the profound values that form,
build and bind society together, encouraging
and promoting critical thinking. This is what
defines us as a society, helping us to create
meaning and to negotiate and share our
thoughts and hopes.
For over 46 years Project Arts Centre
has played a key role in shaping and
contributing to the changing culture of
Dublin and beyond. With Project Catalyst
we established a new way of working in
order to protect things important to us.
Catalysts are a group of invited artists
(young and not so young) who we believe
need to be supported in order to ensure
they are in a position to be able to create
work and to survive. Project Catalyst also
exists to ensure that the next generation
of artists exist when all of the cuts and
emigration have subsided. We currently
support 24 artists (we would love to
support more but resources are scarce). In
2012, with the support of the Arts Council
and Dublin City Council, Project Catalyst
employed 274 artists to present 29 different
productions in Project and around the city
as well as touring to 16 national and 15
international venues and festivals.
2013 will see the curation and
presentation of a yearlong programme
which is both expansive and substantive,
a varied programme with something for
everyone. In the first three months we are
developing, supporting, producing and
touring;
THEATREclub presented The Theatre
Machine Turns You On Vol 3 – a 2-week
programme of performance by emerging
artists, a whirlwind of new work consisting
23 shows by 100 artists, a fortnight of
buzzing audiences and a reminder to us all
how important it is to do new things.
Diabolical Loop by visual artist Sarah
Browne runs to 27 January in The Galway
Arts Centre. Make sure you get to Galway
before this exhibition ends (join us on
Saturday 26 at 2pm for an artist’s talk with
Sarah and Val Connor).
THEATREclub are also developing
HISTORY, a public art commission by
Dublin City Council. Grace Dyas, Shane
Byrne and Doireann Coady are working
12 / 13
JAN—MAR 2013
with a number of local community groups,
focusing on the past 100 years at the site of
St Michael’s estate in Inchicore.
Panto Collapsar by Mikala Dwyer
was one of our busiest exhibitions in 2012
(over 11,000 people visited the gallery
during its 6 weeks) and we are bringing this
international artist’s work on a tour to seven
national arts centres, opening first in the
West Cork Arts Centre on 2 February.
Have I No Mouth by Brokentalkers
will have its first European outing as
part of The Full Irish: Festival of
Contemporary Irish Theatre in Berlin,
where they will be joined by fellow
Project Catalyst artists The Company,
who will be staging their hit, As You Are
Now, So Once Were We. Brokentalkers
will also tour Belgium with their critically-
acclaimed production, The Blue Boy.
Gary and Feidlim’s work is now regularly
seen on the international stage and this
touching and powerful show is set to tour
extensively in 2013.
Our ensemble in residence Crash
Ensemble are already scheming and we
will announce soon a number of small and
medium scale interventions which will
surprise you all – watch this space!
So, as you can see we are starting
as we mean to continue and that’s why
I want to start the year by giving thanks:
thanks to our artists for their unwavering
faith and their work. Thanks to our
funders for their support, without which
we could not survive.
And most of all thanks to our
audiences: thank you for believing in us, for
coming to see us and for talking to us, for
buying tickets and for caring about what we
say, for letting us entertain and serve you.
Thanks for being the people we stand up for
but also who we (undoubtedly) count on.

Executive Producer of Project Catalyst

Pas De Chat
Choreographed by Fiona Quilligan
Life doesn’t stand still – a dance about life,
time and change.
Pas De Chat invites us into the world
of choreographer and dancer Fiona
Quilligan. This beautiful solo examines
and embraces her life work as a
choreographer and the changes her body
has gone through in that time. Embodying
the different dance personas from her 25-
year career, she reflects on the tempos of
both past and present.
Pas de Chat is the story of a
choreographer in search of a dance and
tells her story through movement, text and
film, and is performed to an original piano
score by Irish composer Elaine Agnew.
Last Land
Choreographed by Maria Nilsson Waller
Explore the timeless character of the
farthest reaches of the natural world in a
dance inspired by ice and sand...
From the frozen plains of Antartica to
the dusty majesty of the Bir Tawil desert,
Maria Nilsson Waller reconstructs the
vast scale and unpredictability of these
contrasting landscapes in a captivating and
highly physical dance that explores man’s
relationship to nature.
Taking the urgent movements and
accelerating rhythms of nature and the
animal kingdom, four dancers explore this
Last Land, responding to an exciting score
performed live by Swedish composers Erik
Dahl, Magnus Vikberg and Anna Cochrane.

Shane’s parents are deaf.
He grew up in a house with doorbell lights
and subtitles on the TV. A house where to
be heard, you had to be seen. Follow him to
a place where languages collide. Where the
lights are so bright you can’t see to speak.
Where sound is just a feeling and signs are

Close your ears, cover your eyes. Come to

We’ll see you there.
Follow was performed at Dublin Fringe
2011, where it won the coveted Spirit of
the Fringe award.
A piece of theatre created for both
a hearing and deaf audience, Follow tells
the stories and experiences from Irish Deaf
Community. Funny and moving, it uses
sound, light, sign language and traditional
theatre and storytelling.

“…both hilarious and poignant.”
The Irish Examiner
The Irish language is on life-support, and so
too its greatest scholar in this bilingual play
that forces you to imagine a world without
sláinte, or any remotely similar word...
Focal Point is a powerful exploration of
language and a battle of wills between two
passionate people. While giving a lecture
in a language that he love-hates, a cynical
scholar’s son meets a vibrant young cailín
and Born Again Gaeilgeoir. A fluid melding
of Irish, English and surtitles – even if you
don’t speak a focal this will re-engage your
passion for Ireland’s mother tongue!

and television maker Manchán Magan.

“…a sobering, intelligent piece of theatre,
beautifully performed.”
The Sunday Independent
Two plays…one story.
Morning & Afternoon are two interlocking
new plays about the enduring bonds of
childhood and the human yearning for love
and family.
Set in Derry and among the Irish
diaspora in Europe, the lives of two very
different men interweave in ways they
never could have expected.
The problematical birth of a child may
create new possibilities for love and familial
reunion for the men, and yet this fragile
opportunity may just as easily slip through
their hands.
Both visceral and touching, Morning
& Afternoon takes you on a journey full of
longing and loss; it glistens with moments
of unexpected tenderness and savage self-
searching.

12 Points, the acclaimed festival of young
European jazz talent, returns to Dublin in
2013, as part of the cultural programme of
Ireland’s EU Presidency.
Over four nights, 12 Points presents
twelve brilliant bands from all points on the
European grid, their diversity and energy
demonstrating that the wheels of jazz never
stop turning. The twelve jazz acts making
their way to Temple Bar are among the
brightest that Europe has to offer in 2013.
12 Points brings forth exciting
and personal perspectives on a great
music tradition, from emerging artists
who have plenty to say. Certainly these
are challenging times for creativity in
the margin, but it’s also a time of rapid
evolution and growth, with young bands
such as these leading the way.

“CoisCéim are producing some of the most
thought-provoking theatre around.”
Scotland on Sunday
Have you ever made a spectacle of yourself?
Walking the tightrope of life, jumping
through hoops, bending over backwards to
please, there is pageantry in everything we
do. Inspired by life and the extra-ordinary
of the everyday, Pageant celebrates the
performer in us all.
David Bolger and Muirne Bloomer,
dance-makers and friends, together have
choreographed opening ceremonies for the
Special Olympics, the Ryder Cup and the
UEFA Europa League Final.
Dancing to a powerful score, with
music from Bowie to Ravel, the stellar cast
of Pageant will delight audiences with
their passion and pathos as they weave an
exhilirating journey from choreographic
mayhem to military precision. Served up
with a side order of humour, this show is
not to be missed from the award-winning
CoisCéim Dance Theatre.
Based in Dublin, CoisCéim Dance Theatre
has created and presented over 20 dance
theatre works for stage, off-site and on screen.
CoisCéim’s last two shows at Project Arts
Centre were Faun in 2010 and Touch Me in
2011, both choreographed by Artistic Director
David Bolger. The company has earned
itself an international reputation through
presentations at prestigious festivals such
as Jacobs Pillow, Ten Days on the Island, the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival and at Tanzmesse.

Written & performed by Keith Farnan
“Brilliant, thought-provoking and laugh out
loud funny.”
Time Out
How Much Is That Woman In The Window?
is comedian Keith Farnan’s effort to rescue
the term ‘feminist’ from its negative
depiction in the press, as he questions
where we value women – or simply put a
value on them.
Over the past few years, Primark have
been caught selling push-up bras to 7 year
olds, a doctor revealed she was the high
class escort ‘Belle du Jour’ and elections
around the world have returned fewer
female politicians than before. Having
performed to international acclaim with
shows on the death penalty, racism and
crippling economics, in How Much Is That
Woman In The Window?, Keith delivers a
thoughtful, entertaining and funny show
about what we want from women – and
what they want from themselves.

“Incredibly accessible … exceptionally well
put together.” Galway Independent
Revolutionising ballet to fuse classic
technique with modern themes, Chrysalis
dance presents a thrilling double bill of new
work and a visceral feast for the senses.
Bow and Arrow is a new dance work
for six dancers performed to a live cello
score which portrays the complex dynamics
of human partnerships. Tension, support,
harmony and discourse are brought to life
through a series of intimate duets that lay
bare the anatomy of life shared.
The second work entitled Symphony
in Sync is set to Vivaldi’s sublime Concerto,
is a visual spectacle of movement, based
on the contrasting elements of Winter and
Summer. This dynamic ballet explores
shape and form, responding to the
intricacies of Vivaldi’s powerful score.
Chrysalis Dance are Ireland’s only
neo-classical dance company firmly
establishing themselves as a cutting-edge
company, revolutionising classical ballet
and fusing exquisite technical ability with
modern, accessible themes. They have
presented seven full-length works and
annually tour nationally to both audience
and critical acclaim.

Curated by Anthony Huberman
Detouched isn’t a word. As a word that isn’t a word, it
exists somewhere between retouched and detached.
It’s also fairly close to untouched, which means that it
has a lot to do with touch. It might be best understood
as describing a detached sense of touch, or an act
of touching that doesn’t involve an act of touching,
however paradoxical that may sound.
Today, to touch doesn’t mean the same thing
it used to. By merging the hand with the machine,
today’s technology generates a detached sense of
proximity, or a sense of detouch. This exhibition
presents drawing, moving image and sculptural
installations which engage with the distance of touch.
None of the works included in Detouched can
be touched, but all of them evoke the sense of touch.
Please feel free to detouch them all you want.
You are welcome to join us for the opening of
Detouched from 6 – 8pm on Thursday 24 January
2013 and for an informal talk about the exhibition
by guest curator Anthony Huberman before the
opening at 5pm.

This April over 500 performing arts

international network for contemporary
performing arts.
Since its creation in 1981, IETM
has hosted many events including two
plenary meetings of their membership
each year in different cities. The aim of
these meetings is to connect diverse
arts organisations who share common
interests, to build closer relationships
across sectors and countries, and to
facilitate artistic partnerships, exchanges
and collaborations.
For IETM Dublin, Project Arts Centre
is working closely with the IETM Secretariat
in Brussels to present a lively programme
of discussions and events focusing on the
theme of ‘Trust’. These events will address
a number of artistic issues including the
relationships between artists, collaborators
and audiences and also those between
governments, societies and citizens. A
season of performances by Irish artists,
programmed by Cian O’Brien, Artistic
Director of Project Arts Centre, will be
presented alongside the meeting, offering
the international delegates a taste of the
local contemporary performing arts scene.
IETM Dublin will run from 11 – 14 April
2013 at Project Arts Centre and a host of
other venues throughout the city.
Registration for IETM Dublin2013 is
now open. You can register online at
