From December 2017 to June 2018 German opera, music theatre and theatre director Anna-Sophie Mahler will be working with five participants based in Ireland. This mentorship programme is a unique opportunity for theatre and performance makers of all kinds to develop an early-stage idea for performance, outside the pressures of production. The engagement of the mentor is aimed to pose challenges and offer interrogations within a supportive structure.
