Galway Theatre Festival will not go ahead in May 2020. 

Beatha agus sláinte chugaibh, In response to the current COVID-19 situation, and after careful consideration, we have made the decision to cancel the Galway Theatre Festival (1-9 May 2020).

Our priority is to the health and safety of our artists, audience, festival team and the wider public. We would like to thank the Arts Council, Galway City Council, Foras na Gaeilge and all our partners, funders, sponsors, volunteers, artists and friends for their continued support. 

Galway Theatre Festival holds the support and celebration of artists at its core, and we will work to continue to support artists, and on ways to present our programme to you in the coming weeks and months. We will keep in touch with updates soon. Our thoughts are with the families and communities impacted by the COVID-19 virus. 

Please stay safe and healthy. 

Beir bua agus beannacht, Galway Theatre Festival Board & Team

LITERATURE AIMED FOR INDEPENDENT THEATRE ARTISTS & THEATRE ENTHUSIASTS


We are delighted to announce the launch of the Make A Move Handbook and of Special Monographic Issue of the journal “Mise en Abyme” – International Journal of Comparative Literature and Arts dedicated to Make a Move Project, “Debating Independent and Non-institutionalised Theatre in Europe”.


Read about:

  • MAKE A MOVE Art Incubator – its topics, implementations, findings
  • Artistic practices, experiences and challenges in terms of digital practices, site-specific practices, audiences and positioning in the business and journalistic context
  • Research findings on the non-institutionalised theatre sectors
  • Solutions to many challenges of the sector.
The Make a Move project executed and tested an innovative Art Incubator program. This program was designed particularly for non-institutionalised theatre practitioners and small independent cultural operators, primarily from the field of contemporary movement-based theatre.
The Make a Move project improved capacities of 45 independent, movement-based European artists to work transnationally and internationally, enhanced their professional skills, facilitated peer learning, education and training, improved their career opportunities to access new markets and reach new and wider audiences, enabled network possibilities, building partnerships and contacts. The Make a Move project was born as a way to bridge the gap between where we as an arts sector are now, and where we would like to be in the near future.

Searlit Ní Gallochoir ~ Fantasy Ireland participated as part of Galway Theatre Festival 2019:
 
Created for the Galway Theatre Festival and twirling stand up, storytelling and spiritual memoir, Searlit Ní Gallachoir ~ Fantasy Ireland explores humour, heritage and belonging.
 
Charlotte - ahem - Searlit, is a seeker. She’s on a quest to discover her IRISHNESS. She’s English, but she has Irish blood, and she’s decided to find the mysticism and magic that Hollywood, romance novels and the Irish tourist board have promised her. She’s packed her bags and moved to Galway. She lives in a little house by the sea. She’s waiting for magic...
 
But she’s waded into the bog of a very dangerous question: Is she really Irish at all?

Carlotta de Galleon – A Fool for Love! is a comic romp through one woman’s love of trashy novels. Negotiating feminism, literary criticism and an improvised romance novel, Carlotta might just reach her happily ever after.
