Last week Absolut Fringe launched their programme to begin on 10th September running until 25th Sept. I am super excited about lots of the work in this year's programme and very proud to be producing Welcome To The Forty Foot - a one woman show by Niamh McCann.
It's a wonderful tale of both the personal and universal experiences of swimming in the Irish sea - read more about it -
What do you get if you throw yourself into the Irish Sea 365 days of the year? Niamh unearths the compulsion and joy found both in her own personal journey as a ritual swimmer and the voices of the many other women who bathe there. Investigating the effect of the daily dive.
Developed as part of Project Brand New - the work in development first appeared in PBN's The Lively Fall and was then taken on tour by PBN as part of Imagine Ireland to Solas Nua, Washington DC and HERE Arts Centre, NYC. Earlier this year Niamh received a Research and Development/Mentoring Award from the Arts Council's Artist in the Community Scheme managed by Create.
