Love this. If you'll forgive the absolutely shameless plug, this is v much the kind of thinking that went into @rpblake's 'Running the Ending', which came out of our creative engagements with Friel's creative process for #DancingAtLughnasa @MoLI_Museum exhibitions.moli.ie/brian-fr…
🗣 'I'm the instrument and if it's a wonky instrument, then so be it' #DerryGirls actors @siobhni and @louisa_harland tell @bbcnuala about dancing on stage at @NationalTheatre 👯‍♀️ & why they chose to shift the focus away from 'prettiness' to create something real. Listen here ⬇️

After the last 6 weeks building, I'm happy to finally launch dog-house.ie. This is a tool to record and find derelict properties in towns, villages, and cities. The aim is to uncover these opportunities, and initiate their development into living spaces. 🧵...

Still very much “pinch-yourself” feeling to be singing in the same room. BTS rehearsal moments with vocalists Emma Power @aislinganseo @1rorylynch looking at @rpblake’s music for Monuments w/ @johnscottdance (Lol ignore the roof menders at the end 🤪 #notinthescore)
