Call For Participants
How to See People with Parkinson's
Artist Grace Dyas is looking for participants for a paid charrette taking place this September at Rua Red.
This is an open co-creation space using Theatre of the Oppressed — no performance required, no fixed outcome. Together we’ll explore one question: how do we actually see people with Parkinson’s?
People say they see people who have Parkinson’s, but they don’t. The difficulty of negotiating when your inner world remains the same, yet what is represented to the world is completely different. The ambition is to make a film that could at once effect political change and also serve as a tool for the newly diagnosed—as part of an anti-loneliness campaign for people with early onset Parkinson’s. A single hand, a breath, a half-started sentence. This aesthetic allows for more truth than a public health announcement.
Open to anyone with early onset Parkinson’s at any age.
Contact nadia@artxgracedyas.com if you are interested in taking part.
Open Call
South Dublin County—Intercultural Artists' Network
We're in the process of compiling a database of artists and creatives who form an important part of South Dublin County's vibrant arts scene. The network is free to join, and is for any practising creative across one or more artistic disciplines over the age of 18, full-time or otherwise, regardless of your background. Our only criterion is that you must be based in or working in South Dublin County (a bonus if you are interested in meeting and potentially collaborating with and networking with artists from diverse backgrounds). Through this, we aim to create space for artists to further engage with their careers, offering opportunities to develop their network and explore collaborations.
