Get Together and Dance, Eat, Sing, Play this Easter Monday
15/06/2017
On Easter Monday 17th April, RT in association with Creative Ireland will present Cruinni na C sca, a large-scale free public festival across four zones in Dublin City Centre from 11.00am - 6.00pm. Cruinni na C sca aims to celebrate culture and creativity in contemporary Irish society through a rich variety of live music and dance, coding, theatre, art and music workshops, talks and tastings, readings and screenings, special events and more. The four zones are: St. Stephen s Green, Dublin Castle, Smithfield Square and Custom House Quay.
In addition to the events taking place in Dublin City, 31 local authorities will host free, family-friendly Cruinni na C sca events in their individual counties as part of the national Creative Ireland programme. Information on these events is available online at www.rte.ie/cruinniu.
RT will broadcast live from Cruinni na C sca zones throughout the day across RT Radio 1, RT 2fm and RT Raidi na Gaeltachta, with regular updates on television and online.
Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Heather Humphries TD said, Creative Ireland is all about putting culture and creativity at the heart of communities nationwide and Cruinni na C sca will do just that this Easter Monday. There will be a wide series of family friendly events right across Dublin city centre, curated by RT , with events of a large and small scale also happening in every county nationwide. We want to encourage people to become involved in the cultural life of their own county through a national day of creativity.
We have set ourselves some ambitious targets for year one of Creative Ireland, with Cruinni na C sca top of the list. I am delighted that people nationwide will have the opportunity to come together and participate in cultural and creative activity on Easter Monday, driving our collective wellbeing and our sense of community. I would like to acknowledge the work of all of the key partners involved in delivering the events in Dublin and the Culture Teams in the 31 Local Authorities who have helped to put together an impressive series of events, with the list still growing.
RT Director-General, Dee Forbes said, "Allowing the public come together, celebrate and engage with national events is a key part of RT s role and public purpose. Building on the public events of last year, through Cruinniu na Casca, I am delighted and proud that this Easter RT , in partnership with Creative Ireland, will once again bring contemporary Irish culture and creativity to the streets of Dublin through a rich variety of live music and dance, coding, theatre, art and music workshops, talks and tastings, readings and screenings, special events, and so much more. It promises to be a special and unique day in Dublin and across the country."
While all the music, performance and orchestral events are free (see below), the talks, film-screenings, autism-friendly workshops and coding workshops should be pre-booked to secure a place. The fifty-plus talks cover themes ranging from arts and culture to creativity and social inclusion. Free tickets and information are available online at www.rte.ie/cruinniu.
Cruinni na C sca, a Creative Ireland initiative, presented by RT is supported by Dublin City Council, the Office of Public Works and Transport for Ireland.
