Overview

Branar, one of Ireland’s leading theatre companies making work for children, together with Galway Culture Company, is supporting alumni of their Meitheal program in two international residencies this spring. These placements will allow the artists time to explore and develop their practice, see and experience new work specifically created for young audiences, and connect with local artists and practitioners. Neasa Ní Chuanaigh, a performer, arts facilitator, and puppeteer from the Connemara Gaeltacht, will be in residence at Irish Arts Center in New York. The second residency will be hosted by Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris.
