Holy Family School for the Deaf
Lianne Quigley in Collaboration with dancers Jessie Thompson, Matt Szczerek and Favour Odusola, ran 5 weeks of introductory dance workshops at Holy Family School for the Deaf in April and May 2024.
This work is part of a broader piece of work funded by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Grant. The aim of the project is to establish a meaningful partnership between Project Arts Centre and the Deaf community; to raise visibility and awareness, and encourage crucial dialogue around the barriers for Deaf people engaging in the arts and cultural sector; to promote new ideas and create practical change through training, artistic support, ongoing engagement with the wider Deaf community and the presentation of ambitious new work by and for Deaf artists and audiences.
As part of the residency the school were invited to a tour of Distinct, the exhibition as part of Disrupt Disability Arts Festival at Project Arts Centre, as well as a talk by the Festival’s Director Alan James Byrnes and tour of the building.
