SUMMARY:Gay Theatre Festival
DESCRIPTION:Whether this long-running festival makes it to its 20th edition remains to be seen\, what with its lifeline of Arts Council funding having been completely cut. Therefore\, bums on seats is of utmost importance for the 24 productions which will grace the stages around the city. As always\, it’s likely to be a mixed bag\, all suffused with heart and some imbued with more talent than others. And who best to judge than the audience? A sample of offerings include 333\, the story of three men arrested when Toronto police\, in 1981\, raided several city bathhouses; the world premiere of Quilt\, “a story of AIDS and Ireland using factual records\, and some online testimonials” as well as Quickies\, four short LGBTQ+ plays from Provincetown. \nVarious locations\, runs until May 15.

SUMMARY:Live Collision 
DESCRIPTION:Lynnette Moran’s Live Collision regroups\, reconsiders and asks us to buckle up for a smörgåsbord of live art practice. A few hand picks from the brimming selection include\, Object Permanence by Kat Hawkins which is a solo dance which takes us intimately into the relationship between the disabled body and assistive devices\, revealing a world of joy\, companionship and sensuality. Brokentalkers return with The Examination\, exploring mental health and human rights in the prison system. Irish Trinidadian artist Maïa Nunes presents Solas\, integrating original sound design and musical composition\, with live instrumentation and vocal improvisation. While artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill bring The Making of Pinocchio\, a response to Ivor’s gender transition. In this theatrical and cinematic spectacular\, their tender and complex autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the little lying puppet who wants to be a ‘real boy’. \nHouse of Origin (lead photo) is a new video project\, recorded interviews with some of the icons of Ballroom culture\, voicenotes responses submitted by our queer Black community here in Ireland and written research gathered and written for this. It presents new possibilities for Black queer community building and gender euphoria in an Irish context. \nProject Arts Centre\, Wednesday April 27 to Saturday April 30 \n \n

SUMMARY:Music Current
DESCRIPTION:Ireland’s most ambitious and adventurous contemporary music festival Music Current returns from its Covid slumber and moves into a brand new home at Project Arts Centre for 2022. With many new concerts over 5 days\, as well as participation workshops and panel discussions\, this year’s concerts showcase some of the most adventurous groups in Irish and international contemporary and electronic music today\, many performing in Ireland for the very first time\, at this unique event which runs from 19 – 23 April. \nShowcasing some of the most fearless innovators in contemporary music today; hosting 5 new concerts\, 2 new free participation workshops for audiences\, musicians and composers; a lecture recital on ‘music stretching’ by Maya Homburger and Barry Guy; and a shared masterclass with eight composers\, led by renowned composer Natacha Diels\, over 5 days\, and with a brilliant new commission opportunity for 2023. \nMusic Current has a reputation for presenting music that is at once both fun and challenging\, and this year the programme is entirely made up of Irish and world premieres\, and sees many contemporary music artists converge again in a live setting\, from Ireland and abroad\, for the first time in two years. The festival is a showcase of the “newest of the new” music from Ireland and worldwide. \nA central feature of Music Current Festival is the creative collaboration of composers and performers with the presentation of new works\, and Music Current regularly commissions new compositions and creates opportunities for collaborative development. \nMusic Current’s Thursday (21 Apr) concert features New York music chamber group LOADBANG\, who will perform a programme called IRRATIONAL\, which showcases the breadth of their creative work in the past decade. Ranging from off-kilter grooves to apocalyptic soundscapes\, the programme features works by some of their favourite collaborators including Eve Beglarian\, Taylor Brook\, Chaya Czernowin\, George Lewis\, Alex Mincek\, and Angélica Negrón as well as a world premiere by Irish composer Fergal Dowling. \nLoadbang have been described as\, “inventive” – New York Times\, “an extra-cool new music group\, exhilarating..” – Baltimore Sun\, and “a formidable new-music force..” – Time Out\, New York \n \nThe group relish in a new kind of music for mixed ensemble of trumpet\, trombone\, bass clarinet\, and baritone voice. Their unique lung-powered instrumentation has provoked diverse responses from composers\, resulting in a repertoire comprising an inclusive picture of composition today. They have premiered more than 400 works\, written by members of the ensemble\, emerging artists\, and today’s leading composers. Their repertoire includes works by Pulitzer Prize winners David Lang and Charles Wuorinen; Rome Prize winners Andy Akiho and Paula Matthusen; and Guggenheim Fellows Chaya Czernowin\, George Lewis\, and Alex Mincek. \nFriday’s (22 Apr) concert brings us Maya Homburger and Barry Guy who join forces to present a programme called DUO\, combining new compositions\, masterful improvisations and Baroque masterpieces. Barry Guy is renowned as one of the most virtuosic and imaginative improvisers and Maya Homburger’s interpretations of solo violin sonatas are inspired by the duo’s freedom and creativity.  \nIn this programme for Music Current 2022\, they feature works by H.I.F. Biber\, J.S. Bach\, György Kurtág and Barry\, the Homburger/Guy Duo creates a conduit through which music from the 17th century and earlier can flow effortlessly into contemporary compositions and improvisations.  \n \nThis performance will take place within a special loudspeaker system designed originally by a Stanford University team of Professor Jonathan Abel\, Dr Eoin Callery\, and Dr Elliot Canfield-Dafilou\, which immerses both the audience and the performers in virtual acoustic spaces. This system imposes a new alternative acoustic on the performance space and can render a transparent and realistic sensation of listening (or performing) within entirely different spaces\, such as: historic buildings\, natural spaces or even synthetic spaces. This new sound technology continues to be developed at Stanford University and at the Irish World Academy of Music And Dance in the University of Limerick. \nThe concert will be preceded by a lecture-recital on the Duo’s concept of “musical stretching”\, and will give insight into their approach and creativity\, highlighting some of the extended techniques on bass and violin with which they create unique sound worlds. \nMusic Current’s closing concert of the 2022 festival (Sat 23 Apr)\, Invisible Hand\, welcomes German band Ensemble Garage to Ireland for the first time. They will present a true multimedia concert of works combining choreographed movement\, video\, instrumental practice and cynical play to create a uniquely curious and disconcerting performance. \nEnsemble Garage’s programmes are at once playful and politically engaged. This concert mixes dark comedy with the absurdity of life\, love and politics. While maintaining a foothold in the abstract\, their work is conceived as an attempt to reveal the connection between art and the experience of life.

SUMMARY:GAZE International LGBTQ+ Film Festival 2021
DESCRIPTION:This enforced autumnal move for the annual film festival celebrating Irish and international LGBTQ+ film-making feels right. Its usual August bank holiday timing\, possibly owing to cinema availability\, felt oddly timed.  \nIt opens with The Novice which follows an obsessive novice rower in pursuit of excellence in spite of familiar college distractions. It straddles the psychological-thriller territory and marks a directorial debut by Lauren Hadaway.  \n \nRebel Dykes celebrates the London lesbian scene\, Shame//Less is an experimental feature anchored by our own Stefan Fae and filmed in the Boilerhouse sauna\, Beyto has the good old-fashioned hot lads in a pool image attached while the festival closes with No Straight Lines\, a documentary charting the rise of pioneers in the US comics scene.  \nIFI & Lighthouse cinemas\, September 29 – October 3  \ngaze.ie  \n \n

SUMMARY:Dublin International Comedy Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:A new film festival dedicated to comedy offers up some much needed winter levity with an online programme of films and live stand-up acts. \nVirtual live comedy acts include Emma Doran\, Killian Sundermann\, Michael Fry (who will share a new sketch) and Joe Rooney. It will also include filmmaker Q&As and a glitzy Zoom awards ceremony to wrap up the two days of side-splitting fun. The festival is the brainchild of filmmaker and actor Maureen O’Connell\, an award-winning actor\, writer\, director\, and producer. \n“Although I have been thinking about this festival for a few years now\, it kind of feels like now is the right time to do it\,” says O’Connell. “I’ve always found comedy very cathartic\, very healing and I think everyone could do with that at the moment. Laughter has a therapeutic power. I love that about comedy. It’s soulfulness. I find comedy deeply soulful.” \nIn addition to the showcasing of Irish talent\, audiences can expect a diverse assortment of side splitting humour from the United Kingdom\, Australia\, New Zealand\, France and Denmark. \nMore info on the festival can be found on the website. \nTickets for the full festival are a mere €5 and can be purchased here.

SUMMARY:DracuHa!
DESCRIPTION:Declaration of deadly here\, our editor is one of the co-producers of DracuHa! Originally conceived as a self-guided audio walk\, it has fallen foul of Level 5 restrictions and like much of 2020 has become an ‘at home’ experience. \nThe curdling call-out was made to some of our finest scribes to recount\, depict and imagine some horrors in the city. Expect horror hotlines\, violent brides\, goths\, werewolves and – the most dreaded horror of all – scavenging seagulls as your mind wanders on its original route from O’Connell Street to Molly Malone. \n \nThe sick ink is coming from humorists including Hannah Mamalis\, Séamas O’Reilly\, Sonya Kelly\, Kevin Lehane\, Michael Fry and Tony Cantwell. Visual interpretations of these tales by The Project Twins\, Holly Pereira and Max Halley which were originally meant to be projected on iconic buildings have been coverted into free\, limited edition\, poster prints. \nThe audio file for the tour will be available to download or stream from Friday October 30 at 10am via bramstokerfestival.com.

SUMMARY:Bowie Festival: Illustrated Bowie / Bowie in Dublin
DESCRIPTION:L.A. based screenwriter Todd Alcott has a side project – turning famous song titles into alternative covers for vintage pulp fiction covers. These “cultural mashups”\, made using digital-altering software\, as a conversation between the songwriter\, the original designer\, himself and the viewer. “All four bring a wealth of associations\,” he says. \n“Bowie dressed as an androgynous alien\, went out onstage and told his audience ‘You’re not alone\, give me your hands\,’ I can’t think of a more encompassing gesture to a misfit\,” says Alcott. \n“No matter how weird you were in your community\, you would always find someone like you at a Bowie concert. During a time of my life when I felt incredibly isolated and alone\, Bowie was one of the key artists who made me feel like I was part of a bigger world\, an artistic continuum.” \nAlcott will be joined by graphic artist Cartoon Bowie in one room with a very special rolling AV presentation of photos and live concert footage of Tin Machine in Dublin’s Baggot Inn from 1991 in Room 2. \nThe Space Between\, Friday January 10 to Sunday January 12\, Free

SUMMARY:Bowie Festival: Glasshouse: The Berlin Trilogy Re-Imagined
DESCRIPTION:The Berlin Trilogy consists of three consecutively released studio albums: Low (1977)\, Heroes (1977) and Lodger (1979). The albums were recorded after Bowie took up residence in West Berlin in late 1976\, and saw him experiment with elements of electronic\, krautrock\, ambient\, and world music in collaboration with American producer Tony Visconti and English musician Brian Eno. He’d moved there after being on the verge of physical and mental collapse owing to cocaine addiction in L.A. \n“For many years Berlin had appealed to me as a sort of sanctuary-like situation. It was one of the few cities where I could move around in virtual anonymity. I was going broke; it was cheap to live. For some reason\, Berliners just didn’t care. Well\, not about an English rock singer\, anyway\,” says Bowie who moved there with his pal Iggy Pop. In was in the Hansa Sound Studio where he recorded “Heroes”\, one of his most adored singles. \nThe Glasshouse Ensemble have carved a distinctive niche for themselves as one of the most vibrant interpreters of a modern cannon of music stretching from Aphex Twin to Sufjan Stevens. Bowie is in capable hands. \nThe Sugar Club\, Thursday January 9\, 8pm\, €20

SUMMARY:Bowie Festival: Culture Vultures
DESCRIPTION:“It’s true – I am a bisexual. But I can’t deny that I’ve used that fact very well. I suppose it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Fun\, too.” Bowie was always a trail-blazer in so many respects\, not least sexual fluidity. He appeared in a dress on the cover of The Man Who Sold the World and his legendary 1970s Top of the Pops appearances. “same old thing /in brand new drag”\, sang Bowie on Teenage Wildlife\, in 1980. \nHis legacy filtered down through eras and subcultures\, androgyny never looked so good. Remember R.E.M. only released Crush with Eyeliner in 1994. He sparked the flame… panellists Roe McDermott\, Dr Alex Sharpe and Darryl W. Bullock will debate and discuss Bowie’s influence on sexual fluidity while Corkonian piano led powerhouse Jack O’Rourke provides the musical backdrop. \nThe Workman’s Club\, Thursday January 9\, 7.30pm\, €12

SUMMARY:Bowie Festival: David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music
DESCRIPTION:Bowie released his first record in 1964\, the year Darryl W. Bullock was born. “There was always Bowie. Every time you turned around\, when there was nothing to listen to\, there was always a new Bowie album. I hadn’t realised it until he died\, but he was the soundtrack to my life\,” says Bullock\, music aficionado and author of David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music. \n \n“As an artist\, he was always playing with gender fluidity and identity. What he did so subversively\, was push it a little bit further for the audience. He brought it into people’s homes\,” says Bullock. He’ll be in conversation with our own iconic Tonie Walsh. \nThe Five Lamps Brewery\, Camden Street\, Wednesday January 8\, 6pm\, €5

SUMMARY:Bram Stoker Festival
DESCRIPTION:Bram’s back\, bitchez! Carrying the placard for spooky rights throughout the city\, this fright fest has Night Watch as its centrepiece down in Grand Canal Dock. This atmospheric and darkly theatrical installation\, presented by Lantern Company\, will see a ghostly ship summoned from the dark\, swathed in fog and foreboding lights\, accompanied by an eerie\, maritime forest of beings and bodies arising from the depths. \nElsewhere\, Sounds of Wood on Muscle (St Ann’s Church\, where Bram Stoker married Florence Balcombe in 1878) restates Orson Welles’s iconic 1938 radio play exploring how technology has changed our relationship to imagination. \n \nSéance is a 15-minute experience for an audience of 20 inside a sealed shipping container on Wolfe Tone Square.

SUMMARY:Open House Dublin
DESCRIPTION:It’s our annual ‘through the keyhole’ moment where we get to snoop and marvel at what lies behind the doors of this city. And while it’s stacked with access to fantastic public and private spaces\, the most important event is The Big Debate on Friday. The theme is ‘City in Motion’ which according to Open House “allows us to question the sort of city we want Dublin to be.” And this really has never come at a more crunch time with the city no longer affordable for many and creative spaces being squeezed out in favour of hotels and student accommodation. Do we want a soulless identikit city which will tourists will skip in time to come or hold on to the vestiges of what makes us unique? Could the future incarnation of this event be called Closed Doors? Now is the time to have your say and get informed. \nThe Big Debate\, Trinity Business School\, 41 Pearse St\, D2\, Friday\, 6:30pm – 8pm \nOpen House Dublin\, various locations\, Friday October 11 to Sunday October 13 \nFree tours but booking required for some \nopenhousedublin.com

Listen to the stories of courageous Irish men and women active during WWII including Katherine Anne Mc Carthy\, Mary Cummins\, Catherine Crean\, Margaret Kelly and Samuel Beckett.  The evening explores stories of solidarity from WWII and how European citizens can come together to promote democracy\, equality and peace today. \nArtists and speakers for this unique event include Mary Moynihan\, theatre and film-maker and Artistic Director of Smashing Times; Belgian director Frédérique Lecomte from Theater & Reconciliation presenting her extraordinary work from Belgium and the Congo; John Morgan\, Dublin lawyer and co-founder of the Basque Pyrenees Freedom Trails’ Association (BPFTA) and one of the key people to raise awareness of the involvement of Irish men and women in the Resistance during WWII; Eneko Aizpurua\, Award Winning Writer\, Basque Country\, and Trinity graduate Seán Binder from Cork\, an Aid Worker who spent over 100 days in a Greek jail arising from his work volunteering with refugees. \nDuring the afternoon of 19 September\, from 3-5pm\, the festival is  delighted to welcome Frédérique Lecomte to Ireland from Belgium. Frédérique is Director of the Belgian company Theater & Reconciliation and will present a full-length workshop and talk about her extraordinary work and unique Method for Theatrical Practice in Conflict Zones that she has developed using creative processes to promote conflict resolution and reconciliation in the Congo. \nMusical highlights include Don’t See Any Lines by Cork singer/songwriter Hilary Bow\, featuring Hilary and Liam Ó’Maonlaí on vocals. This song was released as a single on World Refugee Day\, 20 June 2019. The lyrics are inspired by Hilary’s friendship with Kurdish refugees and by working with people who had arrived in Ireland seeking refuge. The song is used as a call to end the direct provision system in Ireland and implement a more humane system for people arriving here. \nUntil September 29

SUMMARY:Love Sensation
DESCRIPTION:The Mother(ship) and mcd roll out a new festival to ensure another large scale splash of Pride before the summer sun sets. This two-day venture is bedecked in retro pop stripes with noughties favs Lily Allen\, Kelis and The Gossip headlining along with Clean Bandit. There’s a George stage bringing the drag fab and a dance section with solid loveens Horse Meat Disco and Honey Dijon. Crowd-pleasing potential\, even if it lacks contemporary edge in its line-up.

SUMMARY:We've Only Just Begun
DESCRIPTION:Second out for this three-day festival featuring 26 acts across two stages. Wyvern Lingo\, Pillow Queens\, Roe and Soda Blonde are the headliners but we’ll be marking our curiosity cards by catching the likes of Lydia Ford\, a Brooklyn-based Irish pop artist and Meath duo Elkin (pictured). It also features Fears\, who featured in our music therapy feature in our last edition. We’ve Only Just Begun are also eschewing a foghorn push around the fact that it is an all-female line-up. We can only hope this is the start of a new norm too.

SUMMARY:Wine 'n' Cheese
DESCRIPTION:Can you brie-lieve it? You’re suddenly middle-aged and middle-class with expendable cash. Well\, stop in your tracks because there are few better marriages to suit you than wine and cheese. And when it comes in festival format\, you can enjoy the company of likeminded folk who are borderline smug. Explore all the voguish wine trends – organic\, orange\, natural and biodynamic – with expert insights from the likes of the acclaimed Green Man Wines. And while we may not be noted for our wine produce\, when it comes to cheese we are well mature in the stakes.  \nThere’s cheesemaking with Tom Burgess (Coolatin Cheese) and making ‘The Perfect Cheese Toastie’ with Kevin Powell (Loose Canon). There will be a daily Cracker Challenge (eat three cream crackers to win a prize!) and Grape Expectations Challenge where competitors have to make as much wine as they can (with their feet!). Add to that Cheesy Singalong Social\, Sing For Your Dinner karaoke\, The Dublin Ukulele Collective\, Trinity Orchestra do Abba\, R’n’Brie special from Holla Back and Easy Singles speed dating.
