Angela Fulcher at Mindfield Angela Fulcher, commissioned by Mindfield at Electric Picnic to produce a new work for the Leviathan Political Cabaret tent, has invited Maser to collaborate on the production of a large scale fabric banner which will serve as a backdrop for the tent’s performances. The abstracted pattern of glitter spandex, crush velvet and bath towels refers to crashing waves in the deep sea, drawn from the idea of the Leviathan sea monster alluded to in Hobbes title for his classic treatise on statecraft. Responding through colour and surface to ideas that will play out in the tent, the piece provides a platform for Maser’s design for the Repeal the 8th mural. Fulcher will also install her 2010 work Hurry on Sundown in the Word Tent. Hurry on Sundown is a suspended structure of fabric panels stitched into a net design for a geodesic sphere, which she constructed from tents abandoned at a 2009 music festival. Angela is a recipient of the Next Generation Bursary Award 2016, a special initiative of the Arts Council and the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme, in recognition of the role of artists in the events of 1916.

He’s also an Oscar-shortlisted filmmaker (for 2011’s Live Action Short “Shoe”), whose work has been featured by New York’s MOMA, and has just wrapped on his eagerly-anticipated first feature “The Drummer And The Goalkeeper”, funded by the Irish Film Board. SEE:HEAR is a new stage show developed by Nick - intertwining a live musical performance of some of his best-loved songs; a screening of his three acclaimed short films; and a witty and compelling talk on the many strong links that Nick sees between making music and movies. “I truly believe that my background in rock’n’roll gives me huge advantages as a film-maker. The subjects that inspire me, the muscles I’m using to do the work, the kinds of people and processes I interact with, the challenges I face and the skills I’ve developed to meet those challenges are all pretty much identical. SEE:HEAR is my way of justifying my own creative process, and explaining how I think these two art forms can cross-pollinate and benefit each other. Plus I get to play my songs AND screen my movies in public, which is a particular thrill.” – Nick Kelly www.nickkelly.ie A packed-out highlight of Mindfield last year and following a string of sold-out shows in Ireland and the UK - live show-come podcast Soundings returns to Saturday afternoon in Stradbally.

An ambitious act of fictional class warfare and dubious historical revisionism, 16 and Rising asks viewers to consider whether their society is dystopian enough, yet, for revolution. Sian Ní Muirí is a recipient of a 16 x 16 Next Generation Bursary from the Arts Council 15.00 REBEL REBEL Robbie O’Connor and Aisling O’Mara in association with ANU Productions “Did that play of mine send out certain men the English shot?” –W.B. Yeats Dublin, 24 April 1916. Ireland’s leading actors abandon a matinee of Cathleen Ni Houlihan. Stepping out of their costumes and taking their revolvers from beneath the Abbey stage, they march to Dublin Castle. Firing the first shots of the insurrection they destroyed the status quo and changed forever the course of Irish history. Helena Molony and Sean Connolly rehearsed for rebellion, carried out rebellion and suffered the fatal and living consequences of their participation. Derived from real-life testimonies, Rebel Rebel chronicles the finite moments when the play (which more than any other symbolised the link between the cultural revival and the Irish revolution) spilled revolution from the stage onto the streets, leading to his fatal shooting and dying in her arms on the roof of City Hall.
