As the days are getting longer, the Cork city air is filling up with an electric atmosphere…The Midsummer festival is upon us, with an eclectic and exciting programme spanning until June 23rd. It’s great to see so many UCC Theatre alumni and friends presenting and contributing to work at the festival this year, including in the following shows:
“The Collector”, created and performed by Will Flanagan, MA TTP graduate, an “Energetic new circus and theatre exploring the fantastical but isolated life of a man who has closed himself off from the outside and has built his own world from the discarded scraps of society.” Running in Cork Arts Theatre 20-23 June.

“This Is It - 8 Dances Portraits”, 21-22 June in the Triskel Arts Centre is “A series of candid film portraits of eight iconic women in dance in Ireland, directed and choreographed by dance artist Laura Murphy.” Featuring the lighting design work of UCC Theatre BA Graduate Hanan Sheedy and involving UCC Professor of Creative Practices Jools Gilson.
Best wishes also to UCC alumni involved in the following shows: Katriana Foley for “The Summer I robbed a bank”, Gavin MacIntee for “Kilter Matter and Ghosts”, Sinéad Gallagher for “Creatures of Habit”, and Hanan Sheedy for his work in Progress showing of “Skin”.
We also welcome the shows “Home Sweet Home” and “Possession” to the Granary Theatre and send the best wishes to our theatre artist in residence Jody O’Neill and all Theatre UCC grads and staff who are involved in the Midsummer shows “Grace” and “Home Sweet Home”!
Happy festival season to all, here in UCC Theatre we are delighted to see so many alumni and collaborators creating and being part of exciting new work and sharing them with an audience. We aim for all our students to find their creative voice and encourage them to create new and exciting work.
