SPARK! August Multi-Arts Summer Camp

Sixpenny — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 20:29:08 +0000

Join us August 10-14 in Westport for a week of creative expression! SPARK! Multi-Arts Camps offer a wide range of creative activities including:

drama
music & rhythm-making (no experience necessary)
creative writing & story-making (though not like school!)
songwriting
art
spoken word
confidence-building games and more…

As two experienced arts facilitators (writer/drama teacher Fiona Keane & musician Dearbhla Ryan) our goal is to encourage as much creative expression as possible in a dynamic and supportive atmosphere. No activity will be forced on anyone! If you don’t enjoy something, we’ll point you towards something else that you like and get you working at it and having fun in no time…

Find your SPARK! & ignite it!

Age 9-13s: Monday ~ Friday mornings: time TBA
Cost: €89 (Concessions available)

Fiona is running two concurrent Creative Writing Workshops at the moment. They meet at the following times in Westport:

Tuesdays 7.30pm-9.30pm
Fridays 10am-12pm

In her classes, writers work on all forms of fiction and some work on non-fiction. All levels are welcome. Cost is €120 for an 8 week block.

Fiona is setting a 10-minute Play Challenge:

“ever thought of writing a 10 minute play? I’m trying to encourage local writers to work on 10-minute plays. If we can gather 5-6 good ones, we hope to mount a staged-reading of them in Westport later this year.”
