Artists in Residence

No. 3 - September to December 2016

Ciarán MacAoidh Ciarán MacAoidh is the new artist in residence at the Dock. After training and working as a traditional blacksmith for some time he moved into sound art and field recording in 2011, inspired both by a series of recordings that he made while visiting the Kurdish region of Iraq and by another Leitrim field recordist. He occasionally works in visual arts, making installations in abandoned buildings and working in film.

Originally from Dublin, Ciarán has been living and working near Carrick on Shannon for the past six years and he regularly returns to Dublin to present an experimental music programme on NearFM called The Crooked Button Radio Show. Ciarán has become increasingly interested in telling stories through sound and especially through audio documentary. His field recordings have been used by a number of artists in their own sound art and music and currently his Kurdistan recordings are being used in work

by American artist Saeed Shabaz. Ciarán’s plans for his time at The Dock include blending pure field recordings of human activity with elements of documentary to tell short stories about people’s lives.

Sorcha Fox Writer, actor and producer Sorcha Fox will continue as an artist in residence at The Dock. Sorcha is working on a writing project and will provide one on one mentoring workshops for actors and writers.

Born in Dublin she lives and works near Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim, Sorcha is co-director, with Donal O’Kelly, of Benbo Productions. She directed Donal O’Kelly’s new one man show; Fionnuala – a play about the Shell Corrib Gas Project which won a Fringe First in Edinburgh in 2013 and was nominated for the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award. In 2014 Sorcha played the part of Molly in Ken Loach’s film – Jimmy’s Hall.

She studied Drama and Theatre studies at the Samuel Beckett Centre in Trinity College Dublin.

Orla Murphy Writer and Director Orla Murphy will begin a residency with us in September. Orla is experienced in all aspects of theatre, film and radio production with a strong focus on original project development. She is currently directing/producing “Remember to Breathe” for Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016 and National Tour September 2016. She was shortlisted for the Fishamble Best New Play Award Tiger Dublin Fringe 2015 and BBC International Playwriting Award 2014. In addition to writing and directing Orla is training coordinator for Film and TV with Screen Training Ireland and Creative Writing and Publishing tutor at NUI Maynooth, Ballyfermot College of Further Education, and Marino Institute of Higher Education.

This is How We Fly

Michael Harding

Four amazing musicians, each of them rooted in different cultures and musical vocabularies, each on the cusp of their most fertile and creative years. Individually, each member has carved out a reputation for not just mastering their chosen fields, but rising above, redefining and renewing the musical world they come from.

Michael Harding returns to The Dock with his latest book, Talking to Strangers. Michael Harding is one of Ireland's most distinctive writers and storytellers and his recent memoirs Staring at Lakes and Hanging with the Elephant have touched a chord with audiences throughout the country.

Michael will read from Talking to Strangers and ruminate on his life over the past 18 months, playing the Bull McCabe on stage in Dublin, struggling with self-doubt, faith, and psychotherapy, and the chaos of building an extension to his home near Lough Allen.

November Foreign Languages, Sigbjorn Bratlie Artist in Residence, LSC 2016

18 NOV - 3 DEC A key ingredient of Bratlie’s work is what he calls ‘the artist as anti-hero’ ie, – the artist who desperately tries to create profound, deep-felt and groundbreaking work, but who usually fails miserably. This strategy accounts for a lot of the humour in his work, a strategy that allows the artist to see serious matters from an unexpected angle.

For the LSC show Bratlie, from Norway, proposes to use Irish in a number of recorded performance encounters in North Leitrim involving local students, learners of Irish or other community groups.

Marcus Hernon and Family with Don Stiffe In Concert

Flute player (and flute maker) extraordinaire Marcus Hernon was born and raised in Roisín na Mainiach in Carna, Connemara. He describes music as a vocation and says it is as essential to him as breathing. Marcus learned the music from his elders and he has passed on the tradition to his two sons, Prionsias and Breandán. Both are talented musicians and award winning sean-nós dancers.

Don Stiffe is one of Ireland’s best loved folk singers and songwriters and has performed all over the world with many of the greats of Irish traditional music. His unique singing voice and guitar accompaniment lend itself superbly to the Hernon’s driving rhythmic sound. A concert not to be missed!
