THIS Sunday September 10, The GAFF joins Elemental Arts Festival in animating parts of the city whose charm is sometimes forgotten. The performance art resource GAFF has a special interest in its home place, Cecil Street, which has always housed cultural institutions. Remember Theatre Royal, anyone? The Lyric? VEC?
“The GAFF will close a part of Cecil Street from 2.30pm to 5.30pm in the afternoon and invites the public to come along and enjoy Music Generation hip hop with Ashlea and Tana Rondezai, Uncle Tom DJ, jiving lessons and pop-up theatre,” says Monica Spencer who facilitates performance arts. “The Young GAFF is running a youth project entitled ‘A Play in a Day’ to be performed in afternoon.
“This undertakes the ambitious task of producing new skits and playlets with a group of young people over the day.”
Artist Fiona Woods invites the public into a process of mapping common and public spaces in the city of Limerick.
Also face painting; jiving with Eleanor Keogh; see wwwthegafflimerick.com for schedule.
