Reconciliation and Equality through Drama Seminar on Friday 14th of January 2011

Published: Saturday, January 08, 2011

Smashing Times Theatre Company is delighted to announce details of their
one-day Reconciliation and Equality through Drama Seminar on Friday 14th of
January 2011 in the Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny, Co.Donegal. The
Seminar is a celebration and exploration of the potential of artistic
processes in informing our engagement with social issues such as racism,
sectarianism, equality and peace building.

This exciting one-day event is free to attend and we invite community
groups, community leaders, drama practitioners, facilitators and any
interested parties to join us for a day of discussion and practical sample
workshops. No previous drama experience is necessary.

Also included in the Seminar is an evening performance of Shattering Glass
should seminar attendees wish to attend. Shattering Glass is a professional
performance of an original script written by Smashing Times Artists Gillian
Hackett, Mary Moynihan and Paul Kennedy and directed by Mary Moynihan. The
play journeys through experiences of the Troubles and explores memories of
living by the Border; a reflection on the devastation and heartache caused
by violent conflict and ways forward in forging new paths for the future.
All performances followed by post-show discussions with guest speakers.
This production tours Donegal in Jan 2011, ending in the Regional Cultural
Centre on Jan 14th. For details of performance dates and times
