Who We Are

F

irst Fortnight is a charity-based organisation with the express aim of challenging mental health prejudice through the creative arts.

We believe the arts allow us to create a space where people can talk about mental health issues in a non-scripted manner. Once that conversation has begun, we hope this will then help to change people’s perceptions about an issue that affects us all with one in four of us set to experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives. With that in mind, we hope to make the First Fortnight of each year synonymous with mental health awareness, challenging prejudice and ending stigma.

Founded in 2009, First Fortnight staged its first two-week arts festival in 2012.

The charity has since become a mental health service provider with the establishment in 2013 of the First Fortnight Centre for Creative Therapies. The centre currently employs two psychotherapists providing art-therapy for individuals experiencing homelessness and mental ill-health in Dublin.

The First Fortnight charity is run entirely by a core group of volunteers.

We hope you enjoy the 2015 programme of excellent music, film, theatre, spoken word, debate and visual art events, and that we see you in January.

Volunteers At the heart of First Fortnight is a small group of people who dedicate their spare time to making this happen. But when it comes to the running of the festival we are going to need a hand. If you would like to volunteer and be a part of First Fortnight 2015 we’d love to hear from you. We need people from all backgrounds, so please get in touch if you can help at all. Visit www.firstfortnight.ie/volunteer for more info.

Hootenanny featuring Kevin Nolan & friends

St. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin 8 Jan 3, 8pm, €5

D

rawing influences from Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Steve Reich and the Flaming Lips, Irish multi-instrumentalist and singer Kevin Nolan emerged last year with Fredrick & the Golden Dawn, his debut album, which took many by storm. Hot Press proclaimed that record as simply “spell-binding” while The Last Mixed Tape called it “simply stunning to behold”.

Now Nolan is to embark on a truly unique performance in St Patrick’s Hospital, a place where Kevin has been a patient and where, on the hospital piano, he wrote many of his songs, including a duet with Choice Music Award winner Julie Feeney. For this event Kevin will return to St Patrick’s as a performer with many of his favorite musicians from the Irish music scene.

The Therapy Sessions

A

popular component of First Fortnight, the Therapy Sessions once again brings together some of Ireland’s brightest musicians and poets for two unmissable Friday night shows. This year’s musical guests include the wonderful I Have A Tribe, The Lost Brothers and Paddy Hanna, with many more acts to be announced.

Better known to some as Patrick O’Laoghaire, I Have A Tribe has had a busy 12 months recording his debut EP with Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey) and Conor O’Brien of Villagers.

He has also toured Europe with Anna Calvi, opened for Villagers’ Irish homecoming show and performed at Electric Picnic. Expect a sublime blend of plaintive pop and folktinged melancholia.

The Lost Brothers released their excellent fourth album, New Songs Of Dawn and Dust, last year and will perform songs from it at this year’s Therapy Sessions. The folk duo can count Richard Hawley, Brendan Benson, Old Crow Medicine Show and members of The Coral among their many admirers. Come down and see just why.

A restless artist and then some, Paddy Hanna is deservedly well regarded as one of the most prolific musicians in Dublin and beyond. When he’s not busy singing in Grand Pocket Orchestra or playing in Popical Island bands No Monster Club, Ginnels and Skelocrats, he’s writing, recording and

www.firstfortnight.ie @firstfortnight #FFfest15

playing his own wonderfully infectious, clever indie pop music. His debut solo album, Leafy Stiletto, was released last year to great acclaim both at home and abroad.

First Fortnight’s spoken word supremo Stephen James Smith is once again behind this year’s poetry line-up, which is as eclectic and varied as ever. On the bill are Dublinbased solo hip-hop artist Ophelia MC, multi-award winning Galway poet Stephen Murray, humorous Kerryman Sean Lyons, Genevieve Healy, poet and blogger Alvy Carragher and Andy Craven Griffiths.

As ever, keep an eye on www.firstfortnight.ie for many more additions to the line-up.

veryone has that song; that tune that gets you up when you’re feeling down or that track that captures exactly how you’re feeling right now. Music connects. First Fortnight is set to explore that connectivity with a unique event in St Stephen’s Green. Take two people, two playlists and a pair of headphone splitters. As they walk together around the Green this randomly paired couple will share a moving musical experience of the songs that resonate with each of them. This is an exercise in breaking down barriers, experiencing indirectly shared emotions, movement and, most of all, music. So come blow away those New Year cobwebs by bringing an inquisitive mind, some comfortable shoes, and the songs that get you through.

deeply personal work exploring migrant suicide, I Have To Say I Have To Say stemmed from the death of the artist’s former housemate, a Polish woman living in Ireland. Told through video, drawing, installation and performance, the work looks at the connections between two countries, Poland and Ireland, against Ireland’s recent history of boom-time immigration. First Fortnight will mark the starting point of an ongoing work by Ciara McKeon. Here’s where it begins.

“T.S. Eliot writes ‘humankind cannot bear very much reality’ Ciara in her engulfing performance helps us to do just that.

Her performance pared back to the essence accompanies us to a deeper, darker space.” - Anna Mortimer, from her text on McKeon’s work Going Without at SPILL Festival Schedule: Opening Friday Jan 2nd @6pm Lunchtime performances Jan 9th & 13th @1pm Panel discussion Thursday Jan 8th @7.30pm

T

aking mental health conversations out of the shadows and opening up the issue for discussion in our local communities may not always be easy, but it does help. With this in mind, First Fortnight set about engaging community groups by helping to create stunning works of art in towns across Ireland. Using street art, which was once dismissed as vandalism and pushed to the margins of society, we’ve set about asking; can this collaborative approach to art-making have a positive effect on our communities and society as a whole?

With ADW’s Rainbows Over Your Blues in situ at Portlaoise Leisure Centre and art work popping up in Letterkenny, Limerick city, Belfast, Rosconnell, Co. Kildare, Castlebar and Dublin city, artist Aidan Kelly has documented First Fortnight’s National Street Art Trail in a stunning film set to be screened during the festival and featuring artists Friz, ADW, Will St.Leger, Solus, Morgan, DMC, Conor Creighton & more.

Mnemosyne Lay in Dust

St. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin 8 Jan 7, 7pm, €5

F

irst published in 1966, Austin Clarke’s Mnemosyne Lay in Dust is an intensely personal and haunting narrative poem about memory, detailing the fictional Maurice Devane’s “nervous breakdown” and subsequent recovery.

The work is based strongly on Clarke’s own experiences as a patient in St. Patrick’s from March 1919-1920.

In reading Clarke’s great poem in St. Patrick’s, the poem is, in a sense, brought back to its roots. The poem will be read

by Peter Sirr, one of the leading Irish poets of his generation, and a number of guests. The reading will be introduced by way of Stephen Bean’s short film Mnemosyne Lay in Dust: Memories of Austin Clarke and concluded with a postreading discussion.

ichael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson star in this hilarious, offbeat comedy about a wannabe musician, Jon (Gleeson), who escapes his boring normal life and joins an avant-garde pop band led by Frank (Fassbender), a mysterious musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal).

Critically acclaimed upon its release last May, Frank poses a series of hard questions about mental illness. Layered within its exploration of artistic expression, Lenny Abrahamson’s film examines our presumptions and prejudices about mental health issues, particularly within a creative context, to leave us with a work that engages as much as it entertains.

First Fortnight is delighted to once again partner with See Change who contributed greatly to the success of First Fortnight 2012, 2013 and 2014.

See Change is Ireland’s national programme to change minds about mental health problems. Over 90 partner organisations and hundreds of volunteers and ambassadors from every part of Irish society have signed up to help end the stigma and discrimination around mental health problems.

In May 2014, See Change brought us the second annual Green Ribbon campaign to get Ireland talking about mental

www.firstfortnight.ie @firstfortnight #FFfest15

health, sparking over 1.6 million conversations about mental health. 300,000 green ribbons were distributed nationwide and free of charge in conjunction with 505 grassroots events and initiatives. Look out for your Green Ribbon this May. First Fortnight is also delighted to have teamed up with access>CINEMA, a resource organisation for regional cultural cinema exhibition in Ireland.

Along with See Change they are helping to bring the festival’s key aim - challenging mental health prejudice through the arts - to a nationwide audience.

Abandoned Goods A film by Pia Borg & Edward Lawrenson

Irish Film Institute, Dublin 2 Jan 3, 2pm

A

bandoned Goods is a short essay film that tells the story of the journey of the Adamson Collection.

Recently rediscovered after years of neglect, the collection is one of the major bodies of British ‘asylum art’. It contains around 5,500 objects (paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures and works on stone, flint and bone) created between 1946 and 1981 by patients in Netherne psychiatric hospital in Surrey, England.

Blending archive, reconstruction, 35mm rostrum photography, interviews and observational footage, the film explores the transformation of the objects in the Adamson Collection, from clinical material to revered art objects, examining the lives of the creators and the changing contexts in which the objects were produced and displayed.

Narrated by an unseen cataloguer, voiced by Iain Sinclair, who comments on key works in the Collection and provides glimpses into the lives of their creators. The result is a moving impression of the unseen history of postwar asylum life in the UK. The screening will be followed by a post-show Q&A and panel discussion.

Heaven Adores You

Irish Film Institute, Dublin 2 Jan 10, 4pm

H

eaven Adores You is an intimate inquiry into the life and music of Elliott Smith. In this documentary, we journey through the life of Steven Paul “Elliott” Smith, a musician whose rise to prominence in the 1990s and early 2000s was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34 in 2003.

The film – which receives its Irish premiere as part of First Fortnight - opens in 1998, a year in which Elliott receives an Oscar nomination for his song Miss Misery for the film Good Will Hunting, and his album XO receives acclaim. An interviewer inquires about his declaration that he’d never be a rock star. Elliott thoughtfully replies, “I’m the wrong kind of person to be really big and famous…”

What kind of person was Elliott Smith? Since his death in 2003, many have attempted to tell the story of his creative “sadsack” genius, often through the lens of struggle, heartache and addiction. Director Nickolas Rossi employs a different lens, placing music centre-stage, creating a framework for Elliott to narrate the story of his life himself, through the filter of recorded conversations and interviews.

The screening will be followed by a post-show Q&A and panel discussion.

987. Saoirse lives with her da and her brother in a peach-coloured bungalow that has been in their family for generations. Saoirse prefers running through the fields to chasing after boys, but her best friend Siobhán has other ideas and after a fateful night drinking with the lads in Wilsons, Saoirse is forced to set out on a journey that takes her miles away from her home and the carefree adolescence she once knew. My Name is Saoirse is a tender and evocative coming-of-age story from awardwinning Sunday’s Child Theatre Company, fresh from their Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe success.

There will be a post show discussion following the opening performance. **** “I laughed, I cringed, I cried - all in the space of an hour.”

s social media destroying us all? When people go missing or some kind of tragedy takes place, it often plays a part in the cause and the solution. This is what Rachel’s friends found out when she went missing. Trying to make sense of what has happened they attempt to piece together her last statuses and tweets. Do we ever know how to ask for help?

User Not Found is a work in development by Stefanie Preissner, an accomplished screenwriter, playwright and actor, and will be performed in the festival as a reading.

Stefanie’s involvement with First Fortnight stretches back to 2013 when her play Solpadeine is My Boyfriend was performed at the festival to huge acclaim and sold-out performances. This reading is an early chance to hear her latest work.

User Not Found is presented by Arts & Disability Ireland and Axis: Ballymun in partnership with First Fortnight.

njuries are occupational hazards in professional sport.

Every athlete gets them and all have to get over them. But what if this is an injury you cannot see? What if the pain is in your head and you cannot tell anybody about it?

Professional sports stars are no more likely to suffer from depression than any of us; they might, though, be slower to ask for help given the pressures to perform in public and rivals looking for an edge over them.

Led by Irish Times journalist Jim Carroll, the Banter panel will include leading figures from the world of sport as they explore the issue of mental health.

T

he first unmissable gig of the year, First Fortnight’s annual Button Factory soiree brings together another typically diverse bill of musical talent aimed at challenging mental health stigma and provoking discussion about mental health issues. We Cut Corners are no strangers to the festival having performed in 2012 and 2013 to huge acclaim. Since then the two-piece have ratcheted up countless more critical plaudits with the release of their fantastic second album, Think Nothing, a record bursting with short, snappy start-stop/ rock-pop performed on drums and guitar. Expect a sensational headline slot. Booka Brass Band are Ireland’s premier New Orleans style brass band. With regular shows all over Dublin, alongside stomping sets at Electric Picnic, Sea Sessions and Longitude, their incredible live energy has brought them a well-deserved level of success. The 8-piece have been known to cover Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and Jason Derulo’s Talk Dirty. We wouldn’t be surprised if collaboration with We Cut Corners is also on the cards. The night will be opened by two of Ireland’s brightest prospects in 2015, the sublime, folk-tinged I Have A Tribe and up-and-coming band, State Lights.

For just €12 you can expect a night of sublime musical entertainment, but this is also a bill designed to start a conversation and hopefully send you into 2015 with the goal of making real social change and challenging mental health stigma.

asks is a play by young people, for young people. Born out of a desire to communicate information about mental health issues, the Youth Empowerment Service - a service of advocacy for young people in hospital with mental health issues - set about using the power of theatre to both enage and entertain.

The resulting work depicts a range of mental health topics – from schizophrenia to OCD to eating disorders – from the perspective of a young person as the performers use masks to emphasise that we don’t really know what goes on behind the disguises we wear every day.

The drama will be followed by a panel discussion on adolescent mental health services in Ireland, with refreshments.
