Packed July programme announced at The Dock
A packed July programme of theatre, visual arts, workshops and community events is taking place at The Dock in Carrick-on-Shannon, featuring exhibitions, hands-on workshops and performances across the month.
A programme of theatre, visual arts, workshops and community events is taking place at The Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon, throughout July.
On Saturday, July 4, visual artist Thaís Muniz will take part in a guided tour and conversation with Maeve Connolly to mark her solo exhibition The Kite Ballet. The free event begins at 12 noon and booking is required.
According to The Dock, the exhibition explores “displacement, mental health, and joy” through Muniz’s ongoing research project New Atlantic Triangulations.
On Saturday, July 11, Muniz and kite-maker Lucas Paranhos will lead a kite-making workshop from 2pm to 5pm.
Participants will learn to make their own kite before, weather permitting, flying them together.
The workshop is suitable for all ages and abilities, with children required to be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided.
Leitrim Design House’s summer workshop series continues on Wednesdays, July 1 and 8, with Rigid Heddle Loom Weaving workshops facilitated by Annie Gambrill.
The workshops, which have sold out, run from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
A Bring and Tell community event for The Green Loy project will take place on Saturday, July 18. The event is listed as part of The Dock’s community programme.
The month’s theatre programme concludes with Distillation, created and performed by Luke Casserly, on Wednesday, July 29.
The 50-minute performance is described by The Dock as “a multi-sensory performance that transports audiences to the Irish bog landscape through scent”.
Two performances are scheduled for 5pm and 8pm.
The Dock, Leitrim’s flagship arts centre, is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6pm, with galleries open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
