Last night saw the launch of the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival with an exciting programme of work ready to hit this city between 25th September - 16th October 2011.
Some of the work is very exciting with a programme of independent German theatre work - A Radical Mind, exceptional Irish theatre work in the form of THEATREclub, Anu Productions, Brokentalkers and some of my own personal favourites from the UK in the shape of 1927 and Kneehigh - both of whom I have produced their work in the past.
But also we have our own offering in the shape of Project Brand New with Tear Down The Walls. Project Brand New in collaboration with Geraldine Pilgrim founder of Hesitate and Demonstrate and Corridor will occupy The Hendron Building, a 1940's Modernist monument in Dublin City Centre.
Artists will be invited to work site specifically and/or site responsively in the building over two days to make a piece of work for the festival audience. A call-out for expressions of interest will be announced soon.
In the meantime public booking will open on 16th August.
