With another year of Arts Grant Funding in place thanks to the generous support ofThe Arts Council of Ireland, in 2025 we are creating a brand new show for our audiences with complex/profound needs – Up In The Clouds – a blissful ‘spa for the soul’ that will tour schools and hospitals across Ireland for 10 weeks in the first half of the year. We will also be making moves in theatres and arts centres all over the country in early Autumn with a remount of our hugely successful show Shimmer – a dance show for audiences of babies aged 3-12 months.
Up In The Clouds will also have a limited number of publicly bookable shows at The Civic, Tallaght.
Our 2025 programme draws to a close with individual bedside performances of Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This in hospitals across Dublin in partnership withChildren’s Health Ireland in November/December.
And we embark upon an exciting research piece towards a unique CPD project for teaching staff in special schools called INSPIRE EMPOWER EMBED. Watch this space!
