All Blocked!

I am happy to say that with one week 'til opening night, we at Skytashe Dance Theatre are ready for a full run tomorrow morning of our show Bitter Youth. Every song is blocked. It has been a long, fun and painful road but we are almost there. I am terrified and excited to be a first time choreographer, having choreographed two dances for this production.

"No Way Out" Indeed

ThereisBear! are a Galway-based theatre company made of current and ex NUIG students and theatre practitioners. This Summer they produced No Way Out by Jean-Paul Sartre, a captivating, funny and bone-chilling exploration of the after-life. I was asked to work on the set for this piece and despite being off my feet with multiple jobs, saving for future projects I said yes. Once you love something like theatre you cannot escape it's allure.

The idea of the set was to create a room, classy but not overly decorated, that wasn't to be overly pleasant or unpleasant. The room was to be square and at the end the 4th wall appeared and closed off the room, trapping it's inhabitants inside.
