Imagine Arts Festival back with Gusto Festival dates for 2015 Announced THE team behind the Imagine Arts Festival has announced the 2015 dates of October 15th to October 25th and promise a ‘spectacularly fun’ programme for everyone to enjoy. Well-known Musician Nick Bankes is the festival Chairperson with support from an established committee as well as some new faces. Commenting on the 2015 festival Nick said, “We are delighted to be announcing the dates for the 10 day annual Imagine Arts Festival for 2015. Our hard working committee and a great number of wonderful businesses in Waterford are collectively building our funding pool in order to ensure a spectacularly fun programme for everyone to enjoy.” “Imagine Arts is all about celebrating the Arts in unex-
pected places and bringing a broad range of creative arts to Waterford and our 2015 programme is set to do just that. We will be making some first announcements in the next few weeks as certain elements are finalized but two very exciting events which we can look forward to are the 2015 Parade of Light and also a wonderful Playwright Workshop event.” Nick continued. Organiser of the Parade of Light Rosemary Dulson said, “This is set to be a superb event which will take place during the opening weekend of Imagine at Christchurch Cathedral. We hosted the parade for the very first time last year and we were blown away by the reaction this event had, it was attended in huge numbers, so we have moved venue and we are inviting
everyone to come and enjoy this spectacle at 7.00 p.m. on October 16th.” The Parade of Light featuring willow lanterns made by school children with the assistance of local visual artists will be accompanied by local choirs who will sing songs to celebrate light. This type of parade happens all over the world and in some countries marks the declining light of the winter and in others the light of the North Star. In advance of the parade a number of Willow lantern-making workshops will be held in local primary schools and also for family groups at venues across the city under the guidance of local visual artists. Creative director Ollie Breslin is also keenly excited about this years programme of events “The festival will host an eclectic line up of over 60
events across a broad spectrum of art forms including visual arts, music, theatre, film, spoken word, dance, history and heritage, traditional music and literature. A new element to the 2015 festival will be two days of playwright workshops in association with the Irish writers Centre. Waterford has a strong reputation in theatre and this year established playwrights such as Jim Nolan, Darren Donohue of the Abbey theatre and Gavin Kostick of Fishamble will engage with emerging theatrical talent to provide a forum for shared learning and creative energy.” The two day Playwright Workshops is aimed at writers who wish to share and learn together. The cost to writers will be €10 per Saturday and those interested in attending can register in advance by emailing info@imagineartsfestival.com
