Second Artist Callout: Pavilion Studio
Pavilion Studio: August - December 2022
Pavilion Theatre is looking for playwrights, makers in theatre and artists to apply for use of a new studio space for emerging and experienced creatives to develop existing work or create new work.
Successful applicants will be awarded one-week residencies at Pavilion Studio located above the Irish Design Gallery, Dún Laoghaire. It is our intention to offer payment to artists for their time at Pavilion Studio (subject to budget).
The Programme to Date
Following an open call in February 2022, the following artists were awarded one-week residencies at Pavilion Studio:
Amy Flood, Cara Christie, Cathal McGuire, Cathal Ryan & Chloe O'Reilly, Chloë Ní Mhurchú, Cliodhna McAllister, Daniel Wade, Dominic O'Brien & CN Smith, Gift Horse Theatre, James O'Donnell, Laoise Murray, Lesley Conroy, Liam McCarthy, Niamh McCann, Pea Dinneen, Peter Reid, Sara Keating, Tasteinyourmouth and Tzarini Meyler.
The Studio has been described as "a very comfortable and productive space", with the residencies being "restorative and inspiring" with the benefit of “advancing creative practice”.
The Space
The room itself is bright and comfortable, overlooking Dún Laoghaire Harbour and the dlr LexIcon library. It is an open, calm, functional space for artists to use as they wish; a blank canvas for inspiration. It might be used for writing, meetings, or small-scale production readings and development.
Kitchenette facilities and Wi-Fi connectivity are available, with the sea, library, Dún Laoghaire Town and Pavilion Theatre itself all a stone’s throw away.
Pavilion Studio is only accessible by stairs; however, an alternative space can be made available for artists with accessibility requests. Those using the studio must be mindful of occupants in surrounding rooms and those on lower floors.
