Event Details

Participating Artists: Emma Brennan, Tara Carroll, Austin Hearne, Mariya Hoyin, Rachel Macmanus, Shiro Masuyama, Katherine Nolan, EL Putnam

Becoming Tallaght Performance Art Festival will take place from 24—27 September in Rua Red and at various sites across Tallaght. This will mark the third in a series of Performance Art Festivals commissioned by Rua Red.

Curated by Olivia Hassett and Paul Regan Becoming Tallaght is an ambitious four-day Festival showcasing the work of eight performance artists, including three bespoke workshops, and culminating in an artists’ symposium. We are also delighted to announce that the first iteration of Xchange, an open improvised performance jam, will also form part of Becoming Tallaght, and will include performance artists from Bbeyond Belfast.

The state of becoming is a transformative process. Just as live performances often involve a transformation through embodied action at a specific site and in the presence of an audience, Tallaght is also experiencing a cultural evolution, reflected in its people and urban landscape. Join us in September as we embark on the journey of Becoming Tallaght.
