Anna Newell Theatre Adventures Announces National Irish Tour For 3–6 Years Olds With STILL HERE
STILL HERE opens at North Clondalkin Library on May 27th, then tours nationwide until June 18.
Anna Newell takes 3-6 years olds on a brand new adventure in her latest touring show, STILL HERE. This wordless physical theatre piece is a quirky playful explorative journey that starts from restriction and uncertainty and moves towards collaboration and connection with a gorgeous and unique musical score created by Eamon Sweeney, played live on baroque guitars.
STILL HERE opens at North Clondalkin Library on May 27th, then tours nationwide until June 18, visiting Anna's Network For Extraordinary Audiences venues right across Ireland.
STILL HERE gently explores some of the feelings of the last couple of years and the changing times in which we have been living. This joyful wordless piece is about finding how to play, connect and be curious within this brave new world.
Presented as part of the 2022 Network For Extraordinary Audiences programme and funded by Arts Council of Ireland, STILL HERE was originally commissioned by South County Dublin Arts Office & Ruaille Buaille Children's Festival in 2021. It features Irish actors Mary Lou McCarthy and Nicky Harley with visual artist Orla Kelly creating the wonderfully whimsical costumes for the show.
