CHILDREN’S ARTS FESTIVAL
They wowed us at RoolaBoola 6 years ago, and now they’re back! With fast-paced physical comedy, hilarious slapstick and the biggest paper fight you have ever seen, the four accomplished clowns and acrobats of Mimirichi’s Paperworld build a whole new universe out of that simple stuff we all take for granted - paper! This troupe of artistes from Kiev will amaze you with their ability to turn a pile of everyday waste paper into everything from dramatic backdrops to imaginative props. Mind-blowingly original origami and physical horseplay meet quick-fire mime and downright silliness in a show guaranteed to enthrall the whole family. Magical and riotous fun!
“A treat for all ages.” - Caomhan Keane, Entertainment.ie website

Be sure to wear loose, comfortable old clothes for workshops - you’ll probably be getting into a right old mess!

Losha is a magical creature who likes to collect things: small things, important things, things that have been forgotten. A lost shoe holds a love story, a birthday candle still holds the wish that blew it out and a soft toy is filled with forgotten fears of the dark... Losha shares the memories of half-remembered stories and explores unexpected worlds where only secret dreams can take you. Set in a delicate world of light and shadows with objects and poetic movement. Losha is a sensitive tale made for family audiences. Created by Sligo-based Monkeyshine as part of the Theatre Maker in Residence Scheme 2011 supported by the Arts Council, Roscommon Arts Centre and Roscommon County Council.
Drop In - 10.30am-4.30pm each day Age: 4 yrs+

Make a spook on a spoon! Take a humble wooden spoon and transform it into a fantasy character out of your own imagination - spider, scary monster, fairy princess: it’s up to you to decide. You can decorate your spoon with lots of different materials (including spoons!) provided especially for you in this workshop with artist Claire Griffin. Workshop Linenhall Community Arts Room Duration: 60mins Capacity: 10 Tickets: €7 per participant
PRESS n’ PRINT Age: 8-12 yrs Saturday 26 October @ 2.00pm-3.45pm Here’s a brilliant opportunity to get first hand experience using a printing press.

This technique has been used by loads of famous artists including Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque. So get printing!
