Percussionist Siobhan Daffy and choreographer Cindy Cummings will produce Oiche Shamhna: Halloween Night - a reworking of the festival into a promenade performance through collaboration with the Glenasmole Community Centre.
From August to October, a series of weekly workshops/rehearsals have taken place, experimenting with the ideas of secret/hidden places and Irish myths rooted in the locale. These will culminate in a public processional event and bonfire on Hallowe’en night in and around Glenasmole. The project will be documented by local photographer Martin Dunne.A public day-long seminar with the Glenasmole community participants and collaborating artists will be organised in partnership with Tallaght Community Arts to disseminate the learning that has emerged from the process and outcome to the wider public.
This event has been funded by the CREATE/Arts Council Artist in the Community Scheme and SDCC Arts Office
