OUR OTHER WORK

Outreach Activities Fighting Words

Riverbank Arts Centre is the Kildare Partner of Fighting Words. We present creative writing workshops for primary and secondary schools. We are happy to say we are now presenting workshops in the venue once again, led by Pierina Campbell and new Irish language workshops hosted by Seirce Mhac Conghaile. Fighting Words workshops are always free of charge to the participants.

Live Network

Riverbank Arts Centre is a member of the LIVE Network - a literary network that was established in 2018. The LIVE venues work together to develop literature and audiences for literature through programmed events, collaborations, tours and workshops.

This spring Riverbank will deliver several literary projects in association with LIVE Network including Give a Poem, Get a Poem led by Kildare poet Darren Donohue with Kilberry National School, where young people learn about writing poetry and transcribe their original poems into specially made cards.

Network For Extraordinary Audiences

We are delighted to partner with Anna Newell Theatre Adventures to present Sing Me to the Sea at Enable Naas in July. Sing Me to the Sea is an immersive multi-sensory adventure for children and young people with complex needs. It is performed in hydro pools with three audience members per show, each with an adult companion – with everyone in the water! This presentation is part of the Network for Extraordinary Audiences, of which Riverbank Arts Centre is proud to be a partner.
