Literary weekend at IMMA
To mark the closing weekend of the exhibition Rivane Neuenschwander: A Day Like Any Other at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, IMMA is holding a weekend of literary events on Friday 27 and Sunday 29 January 2012. Distinguished figures from the literary and performing arts will present a range of responses for adults and families. The weekend begins at 6.00pm on Friday 27 January with a dramatic reading of an excerpt from Samuel Beckett’s novella First Love by Irish actor Conor Lovett, who is internationally acclaimed for his interpretation of Beckett’s works. This echoes Neuenschwander’s 2005 participatory work of the same name, in which visitors to the exhibition describe their first love to a police sketch artist, with the resulting drawing forming part of the exhibition. For further information on forthcoming events please see IMMA’s website at www.imma.ie
The schedule of events over the weekend is as follows:
Friday 27 January, 6.00pm, the Chapel
First Love with Conor Lovett
To open IMMA’s literary weekend, Conor Lovett will read an excerpt from Beckett’s novella First Love in response to Neuenschwander’s artwork of the same title. Lovett’s performance is a short dramatic narration which closes with a discussion chaired by Nicholas Johnson, the Samuel Beckett Centre, Trinity College, Dublin exploring the interpretation, translation and adaptation of Beckett’s work in the performing and visual arts.
Admission is free. Booking is essential for all events. Book online at www.imma.ie/talksandlectures.

JuSt Theatre Company from London are hoping to take Anne Devlin’s award-winning OURSELVES ALONE to Dublin (where it has never been performed) in June at The Black Box, Beckett Centre, at TCD.
They will be bringing their sizeable cast and team over for the occasion.
The show runs from June 11th-June 24th after which they have been invited to bring it back to London to close the inaugural relaunch of the UK Irish Arts Festival (which hasn’t run since the 80′s) for which there will be a lot of media coverage.
They are looking for people who would like to come on board the show in a production capacity, and, also possibly to fill some of the smaller but important roles we are recasting in Dublin.
Because of the high profile nature of the production, They really need to find a core group of young performers and production enthusiasts who are willing to really work as a team while the tour is in Dublin.
They will make sure they are well looked after (we do a very good buffet lunch) and will endeavour to make their involvement as worth while as possible, in both a personal and theatrical capacity!
Tasks for which they could really use some help include:
- Assisting on the logistics of the show, getting cast and crew where they need to be, working with the production team to get the most out of rehearsals pre-show.
- Assisting with marketing, flyering in central Dublin, chatting to local businesses whom we would like to have on board as sponsors for the duration of the show through our marketing material etc.
- Helping with get-in and simple set construction (There’s very little to worry about in terms of set!)
- Assisting with lighting set up – we are on the hunt for a reliable Lighting Tech looking for experience and confident to take on a relatively simple but intense lighting design format.
- Back Stage Manager- we really need a calm, focused person who can assist with alot of props transitions and quick changes.
They can promise that this is a great show to be a part of, they have a fantastic cast and the atmosphere has never been less than 100% positive and fun, so they would hope the same will hold true for our Dublin run.
And of course if any one is considering the UK for work after graduation they would be delighted to point them in the right direction in terms of directors, agents, casting directors and all the other important contacts theyhave made since moving there four years ago.
email them at this address justtheatrecompany@gmail.com and when the production team are in Dublin in April/May they would love to meet with you for a chat.
The show is being directed by company member and Gaiety School alumni Conor Irwin.

There will be auditions held on February 3rd to cast eight actors both male and female.
This is an IADT graduation film and like all grad films it will be shot and produced to a professional standard.
The film “Horror School Reunion” is a comedy horror which brings together the horror of the 70’s and 80’s movies along with slapstick violence and a very funny script.
All characters are in their late 20’s so the actors replying must be able to play within this range.
Character bio’s and times for auditions will be sent out to you on your reply to this casting call.
The film will be shot on location in early March.
Please email Stewart at sgalambert @gmail.com
