Our Skills Exchange Talks At The Theatre Development Weekend In Cork
Shamefully I forgot to post information up on the Triskel Development Centre Talks yesterday so if anyone is reading this you’ve already missed half of it. Thankfully you can catch two panel discussions tomorrow.
The talks have been organised by Corcadorca Theatre Company who are running the development centre in the Triskel Arts Centre, Cork City. It’s a great initiative that gives theatre makers the opportunity to use a free space for one week, free of charge, to experiment, play, create and fail. At the end of the week they are then obliged to show their work in progress to an audience. It’s a fantastic resource for Cork City and a good way to meet people and exchange ideas.
Anyway, to what you missed.
