Our International Women’s Day celebrations were certainly a great tribute to the morning and evening core groups and above all the Arts Committee who made all that hard work look so easy. The exhibition is still a topic of conversation, and many women came away from the evening celebrations saying how long it was since they came away from an event humming the tunes they had enjoyed hearing being sung with such verve and enthusiasm.
APRIL 4th
Some members may already have met the two young women who formed Rampant Productions last year. They are Katie Holmes (Aughrim) and Sinead O’Loughlin (Ballymanus) they attended the evening celebrations for IWD. Their theatre/literature company is dedicated to producing work and projects in both art forms and would like to come to address our meeting. They envisgae a link up with TWN and through a Q & A session we can establish if and how we could work together. They have a strong attachment to women’s issues and will tell us about their plans.
They are both recent postgraduates from NUI Galway, with an MA in Arts Policy & Practice and an MA in Theatre & Drama. It sounds very interesting and it’s different.
Core Group; Tina C., Mary O’ Donovan & Veronica.
