From December 2018 to June 2019 German theatre maker Johanna Freiburg will be working with five participants based in Ireland. This mentorship programme is a unique opportunity for theatre and performance practitioners 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.

Gate Theatre Studio
Cavendish Row, Parnell Square, Dublin 1
