Early Years
Here at Graffiti, we believe and rejoice in the rights of the young to have access to artistic events, both as audience and participants. To this end, we have been developing our work to reach even the youngest members of our communities.
Blátha Bána – White Blossoms
An enchanting, beautiful piece of theatre designed for young children aged eighteen months to 3 years and their adults.
Dírithe ar pháistí an-óga (ocht mí déag go trí bliana) agus a ndaoine fásta, tabharfaidh Blátha Bána/White Blossoms a lucht féachana óg ar thuras amharclainne atá físiúil agus fileata.
For many members of the audience this will be their very first experience of theatre. We consider it our special responsibility to present to the children a theatrical experience of beauty in a gentle, enchanting world.
Blátha Bána – White Blossoms weaves Fiona Kelleher’s ethereal music through a mystical visual landscape created by Deirdre Dwyer. Actor Una Kirwan personifies the spirit of the story.
Fréamhaithe i saibhreas teanga agus suaimhneas timpeallachta, tá draíocht-dhráma ilchéadfaíoch cruthaithe ag Graffiti Theatre Company a mheallfaidh páistí óga agus a gcúramóirí.
Graffiti Theatre Company has devised this unique performance over the course of three years, inspired by legend, poetry and song in Irish and English.
Tá sé de chúram againn samhlaíocht na bpáistí a spreagadh agus a chothú leis an léiriú álainn seo.
Directed by/Stiúrthóirí: Emelie FitzGibbon agus Síle Ní Bhroin.

BEAG
Through the BEAG Pilot Project (see below) with our funding partners Cork City Council, Cork County Council and the HSE, we investigated the practice of an integrated arts team. The findings of this research project (see full text of the report below) indicated very strongly that this was a successful, effective mode of practice with high aesthetic values and great potential for expansion.
The project is now in Phase II, with the same team of artists engaging in integrated arts team work as well as individual residencies and projects. We will be updating the online information about the project soon. In the meantime, for further information on the project, please contact Graffiti at 021 4397111. Valerie Pentek is the Project Manager of the BEAG Project.
We have also created links with Forbairt Naíonraí Teo. – bíonn ceardlanna á reachtáil againn freisin i gcomhar le FNT.
