The Pillars of this Programme are:

Nostalgia - Collaboration - Recreation

Reminiscent Theatre is about seeing and realising the dramatic potential in real life stories. It takes

verbatim memories as the basis for theatre scripts, using the experiences of older people as a source of

artistic productions and therapeutic creativity.

My aim is to create a space where each person can share their memory of an Irish dance hall from the 20^th century.  Once the stories have been shared the ensemble will recreate their memories through music

and dialog.  At the end of the eight weeks we will aim to transform the theatre into a dance hall

experience and open it for one night only to Kilmallock community and anyone else who would like to join us!
