Hello. The Dock first opened its doors in 2005. In our special anniversary programming we are delighted to include so much

talent and great representation from the Northwest of Ireland. Culture Night is one of our highlights and all are welcome. We are thrilled to present two new commissions as part of our Dock10 celebrations. A new dance show uniting Irish and Quebecois tradition will have its World Premiere here in September. And a second commission will be performed with the Crash Ensemble in October.

In visual arts we will highlight some of our achievements with the exhibition “The Past Presence” which marks The Dock’s culture of commissioning new work and revisits past and new interests.

In our traditional music programme we are delighted to host ensemble Ériu, a septet led by Jack Talty and Neil O’Loghlen. We are presenting a Music Network event putting two of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians Dermot Byrne and Brian Finnegan together with two of Scotland’s best; singer Kathleen MacInnes and the award-winning Mike Vass. Just before Christmas we will have a special gig with Maurice lennon and Cormac Begley and friends.

Details of our fantastic line-up of music and theatre are listed throughout the programme. Highlights include Pat Kinevane’s Silent and Underneath and The Beeznezz and Breffni Players both of whom have an important history and association with The Dock. Other highlights include Rough Magic’s How to Keep an Alien and My Name is Saoirse. On the music front we are delighted host an evening with eleanor Shanley who will be performing songs from her newly released album Forever Young and we welcome back singer song writers Johnnie Duhan and Ailie Blunnie. International music features also with Indian classical Gandharva Veda music with sitar maestro Surajit, a concert of traditional Russian music with Brothers Vladimir & Anton Jablokov and the amazing Zaïde Quartet, a daring young French string quartet currently making waves on the European chamber music scene.

We have expanded our programme for creative’s of all ages to include master-classes in drawing, documentary filmmaking and painting. Padraig

Sweeney’s music classes at The Dock are amongst the most successful regular events in The Dock’s 10 year history and we are delighted that he will return again this September. If you love to sing, but never got the chance or confidence, we have a fantastic opportunity with a new Get Singing course with Ilse Lubbers. This season alongside Youth Theatre, we will be including explore and Create visual arts classes for younger people which run over term-time, presented in collaboration with Kids Own Publishing Partnership. For young people who are interested in arts and technology we have some very interesting opportunities such as Programming Music for mobile platforms with composer Jonathan Nangle and a Stop Motion Workshops with artist Naomi Draper. And there is so much more to be explored inside this What’s On Guide.

It’s been an amazing ten years, and so many thanks to our audiences and artists, and to all who support The Dock. We are looking forward to bringing you interesting and exciting things over the next ten. Many thanks to all of our audiences for their support.

Call OuT TO SCHOOlS fOR 1916 PROjECTSHugely important to Leitrim is the 100th year of the proclamation of the Republic.

There are a number of national call-outs inviting young people and schools to

get involved in the celebrations. Primary and post-primary schools are being

encouraged by The Department of Education and Skills to develop ideas through

oral history, literature, drama, music and art. To illustrate the changing face of Ireland

schoolchildren are also being asked to trace their family tree back to 1916. Wherever

in the world that might bring stories from, The Dock is keen to support schools to

realise their projects in the theatre and community spaces here over the course of

March 2016. For further details please contact visual arts and education officer Laura

Mahon at [email protected]

STuDiO nEwS: TwO nEw aRTiSTS TO TaKE uP RESiDEnCiES Hugh McGettigan and Susan Mannion have been awarded studio residencies at The

Dock. These residencies are designed to support research and offer artists time and

space to develop their practice in the privacy of their studios. The residencies run

from late September for six months. Updates and news will be posted on our website.

www.thedock.ie

Hugh McGettigan has recently graduated from

the Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Dun

Laoghaire with a 1st Class Honours. His sculptural

works create playful tensions. He is interested in

materiality, sculptural equilibrium and balance. To

date he has been working largely with readymade

and found materials which show traces of a

previous use. McGettigan’s work balances sculptural

elements with delicate supports. This July he has been selected for The RDS Student Arts

Award Exhibition. He has exhibited in galleries in Dublin, Sligo and Helsinki.

http://cargocollective.com/hughmcgettiganart

Susan Mannion is a printmaker. Her specialism

is wood engraving, woodcuts and linocuts. She

is currently completing a body of work inspired

by the writing of Benedict Kiely. She is interested

in extending the boundaries of wood engraving,

embracing tradition, and giving it a contemporary

twist. She loves the sensation of cutting through the

surface of a block to leave a raised black line and the element of risk of working a negative

image onto the surface. Mannion has been printmaking for a few years now, coming to the

medium through textile printing and then continuing and developing the practice onto paper.

She has exhibited in London, Dublin and in throughout the U.S.A. In September this year she

exhibit at the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh.

ZOgMa DanCE & THE DOCK PRESEnT SOKalO aTlanTiC RHyTHMS A stunning performance of traditional Irish and traditional Canadian Dance. With its

roots in the history of how traditional Irish dance influenced the traditional dance

of Canada’s Quebec region as far back as the 18th century, this world premiere will

unite Irish and Quebecois dance traditions on stage for the very first time. After a

weeklong residency at The Dock Montreal dance company Zogma will take to the

stage with Irish dancers Caitlin Nic Gabhainn, Edwina Guckian and Liam Scanlon and

virtuoso harpist Laoise Kelly bringing the intoxicating music and urban energy of their

production ‘Sokalo’ to the rural landscapes of the west of Ireland.

Produced by The Dock and Canada’s Zogma Dance with funding from The Quebec and

Canadian Arts councils and an Irish Arts Council Deis Award, ‘Sokalo’ represents the

happiness of reuniting and the joy of shared memories with friends. It is the urban rhythms

that modulate to life.

When the urban rhythms in Sokalo meet and intermingle with the rural rhythms of traditional dance and music in Ireland we expect a magical result. This unique cultural collaboration can be traced back to the 18th Century when the Irish community was already very well established in Quebec long before the mass influx of famine victims in the 19th Century. The Wild Geese, Irish soldiers who left to serve in continental French armies were given land grants in Quebec during the 18th Century. Traditional music and dance became an important element of the process of integrating with the francophone culture in Quebec. Group dances such as the Quadrille Françoise and the Saratoga, the Lancier and the Caledonia became very popular in Quebec during this time, these quadrille sets bore an uncanny resemblance to Dance in rural Ireland. Solo dances like the Quebecois gigue emerged from a fusion of Irish sean nós steps and English and Dutch clogging, and possibly also influenced by other cultures from South America where rational dances included percussive elements.We hope that you will be with us on the very special journey inspired by the living traditions of Ireland and Quebec.All workshop further information & booking:

The Past Presence highlights The Dock’s culture of commissioning new work, and revisits works past and new interests as part of our 10 year anniversary.

Aideen Barry’s new work Not to be named is titled after Dante’s reflection on monsters,

as the ones “not to be named nor understood?” This short film draws us to question

where the horror actually lies? Maybe it’s in the mountains of madness’s we have

created ourselves?

Commissioned by The Dock 10 years ago Landscapes by Karl Burke and Mark Garry

reflected upon notions of a specific place, its histories, stories and mythologies. It has

gone on to be shown in London, Paris, Vilnius, New York and Sydney. This was the first

film work made by both artists. Ten years later, we are re-presenting the work with new

sound elements composed from field recordings and guitar.

First and foremost a composer, Jonathan Nangle’s compositions explore many diverse

fields ranging from interactive installation, to notated acoustic and electro-acoustic sound

and improvisation. PAUSE is a new commission by the Dock in association with Crash

Ensemble featuring the young Irish ballet dancer Jamie Haughton. PAUSE emerged from

a short two bar phrase from Charles Ives ‘Concord Sonata’ (1919). The second work

‘(sighing): oh…but we were monsters’ was directly inspired by Alvin Lucier and is largely

synthesised from sine tones through custom built software. The third work Breath is

an Audio-Visual Installation producing algorithmically generated rhythmic sequences.
