The programme will seek to cultivate awareness of the creative arts, where each student will have the possibility for increased engagement in the various creative art forms.

This programme is specially designed for the second and third year undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Celtic Studies. It includes illustrated performances and lectures in art forms such as theatre, traditional arts, architecture, literatures in English and Irish, dance, music, opera, visual art, film, circus and street spectacle.

The programme starts this month when Druid Theatre Company present ‘Long Day’s Journey into Night’ directed by Garry Hynes and starring Marie Mullens. Literary Manager Thomas Conway will be guest speaker on the night.

The Huston School of Film and Digital Media will present a master class in October by Italian Ensemble Gatto Marte, presenting the original score and screening of the F. Murnnau film ‘Faust’. The final event in semester one will be a workshop opportunity for students with Rod Stoneman and Mary O Malley, Huston School of Film and Digital Media, on how to prepare a portfolio for postgraduate study.

In semester two, the programme includes a Con Tempo concert and lecture with Dr Jane O’Leary, a traditional concert and talks by leading artists, such as Frankie Gavin, Roisin Elsafty, Roisin Ni Mhainin, Ronan Browne and Máirtín O Connor, and a field trip to the Irish Museum of Modern Art and a production at the Abbey Theatre Dublin.

Each student attending four or more events, and who completes two 500 word reflections on two events of their choice will be presented with a Certificate of Attendance and Participation by Professor Kevin Barry, Dean of Arts at NUI, Galway.
