Dublin Dance Festival in association with the Abbey Theatre, Live Collision and The Ark

Open Studio is a creative lab exploring performance, connectivity and young people. It brings together a range of perspectives and methodologies around connecting to younger audiences and participants through dance, performance and live art.

Young people and artists from diverse backgrounds will take part in four days of workshops, seminars and scratch events exploring the potential of future programmes, including work co-curated by young people for young people.

This user-driven process, with participation from Collapsing Horse Theatre, The Ark, DYDC, The Autonomy Project, Limerick and Dublin Fringe Young Radicals, will explore the potential of digital platforms within performance, children and risk-based practice, and youth and gender activism. Learnings will be shared in an open forum round table discussion for programmers, producers, venues and young people who are already involved or interested in this area.
