TAP JAM & PLAY is a new addition to my tap courses: an hour focused on improvisation, musicality, and expressing yourself through rhythm! All levels of tap student are encouraged to take part, as we explore new ways to approach the dance, our connections to the music, and to each other. All activities are grounded in play, curiousity, and community. If you find the idea of improvising or creating tap choreography intimidating -- you're in the right place! INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED class is for students who have already taken at least two years tap lessons, or by invitation from the teacher.

New Dublin Voices and conductor Bernie Sherlock are delighted to announce their upcoming concert in Dublin's gorgeous Pepper Canister Church, St Stephen's in Mount Street Upper on Saturday, November 9 at 7:30pm. The words may be by only two writers, but the range of those writers – and the range of the music they inspired – is immense. This concert will take you on a whirlwind journey from breathtaking, classic settings by Vaughan Williams of words from The Tempest, to the Bard at his cheekiest in love songs from the Elizabethan stage, re-imagined by Matthew Harris who poaches liberally from the Mamas and Papas and even the Fine Young Cannibals. Yeats won't be outdone. He explores so many aspects of human life, from love – unrequited and otherwise – to ageing, flying, war, and the cosmos, all treated with stunning diversity by a most intriguing assortment of living composers. This concert also brings together for the first time all six 2024 Yeats pieces commissioned by New Dublin Voices with a funding award from the Arts Council: Her Anxiety by David Coonan White Birds by Laura Hawley When you are Old by Áine Mallon The Mother of God by Anselm McDonnell O Curlew by Jonathan Nangle Elemental Powers by Roxanna Panufnik Don't miss this concert!

The Irish Palette @ CHQ - Discover Ireland's emerging art collective! This event is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Irish art. Located at CHQ Dublin, right across from the ticket office for the Epic Museum, you'll be able to explore the works of talented up-and-coming artists. Don't miss out on this chance to support and celebrate the creativity of Ireland's next generation of artists! As an added bonus, attendees who inquire with The Irish Palette will receive a complimentary ticket to visit the museum, making it a perfect cultural day out. From a Small Online Community to a Nationwide Art Movement The Irish Palette started during the COVID-19 pandemic when artists from different corners of Ireland, participating in the same online art programme, came together via Facebook to support one another. Little did they know that this online community would evolve into a dynamic art collective. Today, with over 40 members, The Irish Palette is a growing force in the Irish art world, fostering creativity and collaboration among its members. “It all began back during COVID,” says Senga Sharkey, a founding member of The Irish Palette. “We had no idea it would evolve into the movement it is today. It’s incredible to see how much we’ve grown.” The group’s core philosophy centers around connection, creativity, and mutual support. For the artists involved, The Irish Palette has been a transformative experience, both personally and artistically. Bridgeen Butler, an artist from County Antrim, shares: “It’s a delight to be part of this group. We’re bringing new art to new audiences, and we couldn’t be more excited to showcase our work in Dublin.” The Inspiration Behind The Irish Palette The Creative Visionary Program (CVP), developed by Californian artist Nicholas Wilton, has been a key influence in shaping the collective’s approach to art. The program encourages artists to embrace boldness, authenticity, and the pursuit of art that reflects their true selves. Dublin artist Fran Halpin, who has achieved success in her own practice, was looking to push boundaries. “Joining The Irish Palette is an added bonus. The group is dynamic, and we already have three more exhibitions planned for 2025.” For artist and filmmaker Gina Fegan, who recently returned to Wicklow, The Irish Palette has been a lifeline. “The CVP principles have brought a fresh, unifying energy to our work. It’s helped me create art that feels more like me.” A Must-See Event in Dublin’s Cultural Calendar The exhibition will feature a wide variety of styles and mediums, providing visitors with an eclectic experience. For some members, it’s not only a chance to exhibit but also to meet fellow artists face-to-face for the first time. “The opportunity to exhibit together allows us to connect in person,” says Leonora Reilly, a visual artist and plein air painter from County Louth, who also organizes the Louth Plein Air Art Festival. Artists Exhibiting A wide range of talented artists from The Irish Palette will be showcasing their work, including: Senga SharkeyBridgeen ButlerFran HalpinGina FeganLeonora Reilly(Full list of exhibiting artists available on request)Don’t miss the chance to experience this fresh wave of Irish art firsthand at The Irish Palette exhibition, and perhaps find the perfect meaningful gift this Christmas.

Join us for a screening of Off Frame AKA Revolution Until Victory Tunisia, 62 min, Color & B&W, digital, Arabic, English, French, and Italian with English subtitles; Palestine, France, Qatar, Lebanon, 2016, by Mohanad Yaqubi. This screening is programmed and presented by artist and filmmaker Helena Gouveia Monteiro, who will moderate a post-screening conversation. Free, booking on Eventbrite or come on the day subject to availability. This film is being screened as part of the education programme in parallel with La Grande Illusion, a solo exhibition of work by artist Brian Maguire. … Off Frame AKA Revolution Until Victory is a meditation on the Palestinian people’s struggle to produce an image and self-representation on their own terms in the 1960s and 1970s, with the establishment of the Palestine Film Unit as part of the PLO. Unearthing films stored in archives across the world after an unprecedented research and access, the film begins with popular representations of modern Palestine and traces the works of militant filmmakers in reclaiming image and narrative through revolutionary and militant cinema. In resurrecting a forgotten memory of struggle, Off Frame reanimates what is within the frame, but also weaves a critical reflection by looking for what is outside it, or what is off frame. The Palestinian revolution collaborated with filmmakers, actors and activists from Syria, Italy, UK, Lebanon, France, Germany, Argentina amongst many others, and made partnerships with institutions in Berlin, Moscow, Baghdad and Cuba. Despite their prolific output, very few of their works remain. Yet there is much to learn from revisiting this era and piecing together the narrative of Palestinian militant cinema. “Off Frame” aims to fill this gap in the collective memory, making the past an urgent element of the present day analysis of Palestinian cinema. The film attempts to bring forth all that was happening behind the cameras and the creation of these films. Resorting to cinema’s temporal nature and time being an elastic concept, “Off Frame” assumes the role of a time machine, transporting the audience back in time, by opening a portal into the life, hopes and desires of a people living in a revolution, fighting to be recognised and to reclaim control over their representation. Mohanad Yaqubi is a filmmaker, producer, and one of the founders of the Ramallah-based production house, Idioms Film. Yaqubi is also one of the founders of the research and curatorial collective Subversive Films focusing on militant film practices, and a founding member of the Palestine Film Institute. He has been a resident researcher at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Gent, Belgium since 2017. Yaqubi’s filmography as a producer includes the documentary feature Infiltrators (dir.
