Explore Design is a mentorship programme mentorship programme funded by The Arts Council Arts Grant Funding 2024, presented by ISPD in partnership with Irish Theatre Institute, and supported by Project Arts Centre. It connects award-winning designers with seven emerging playwrights and theatre-makers, fostering design thinking and scenography skills in their practice.

If you value the visual impact of your project and believe stage imagery or sound is as meaningful as spoken words, this is the opportunity for you.

Curated by Pamela McQueen, with Maree Kearns as lead designer, the programme will introduce the core components of performance design.

Discursive seminar sessions will cover the full breadth of design tools available in performance. To that end, the programme includes designers from all disciplines and aesthetic styles, who will each give a group session. It also includes a session with a production manager and a stage manager to contemplate the practical aspects of implementing design ideas.

Deadline: Monday 26.02.2024 at 3pm
