ARTS and EDUCATION PROGRAMME 2006
SCHOOLS PROGRAMME
Children from 5 local National Schools work with local artists Jane Seymour and Nicola Henley for 2 weeks prior to the festival in Mountshannon Hall. Art classes, inspired by a visit to the Church exhibition, will be in a range of media to include 'smoke firing' clay and Chinese paper lantern making. Lanterns made will be used for the 'Firework/Sound and Light Performance' at the Harbour, Sunday 4 June. Please visit the exhibition of children's art in Mountshannon Hall Saturday 27 May - Monday 5 June.
INTER-GENERATIONAL ART PROJECT
This project brings Tuamgraney National School children together with older members of the community at Raheen Hospital Daycare Centre, and runs in early May. Artwork and lanterns made will be shown in St.Caimin's Church and will be used for the 'Firework/Sound and Light Performance' at the Harbour, Sunday 4 June. (Supported by Department of Education & Science).
IRISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA
Irish Chamber Orchestra facilitator Diane Daly will work with children from schools in Mountshannon, Tuamgraney and Ogonnelloe in a series of music workshops as part of the festival's Education Programme. Focussing on improvisation and composition, these sessions will culminate in a live performance, with fireworks, at Mountshannon Harbour on Sunday 4 June. The new pieces will share the theme of fire and will be recorded so that the participant will have a permanent record of their creative achievement.
YOUTHREACH SILVERSMITHING CLASSES
Silversmithing workshops; casting and jewellery making will be run by local artist Susi Lewisohn during May. Work produced will be shown as part of the exhibition in St.Caimin's Church during the festival.
YOUTHREACH FILMAKING PROJECT
Paul Ryan will work with a group of young people from Youthreach, Scariff over an extended period of time on a filmmaking project. Initiated this year, it is planned to be part of an ongoing collaboration between the festival 'Arts and Education Programme' and Youthreach.
