Clamour and Roar – A Citizen’s Chorus
ARE YOU ADVENTUROUS? DO YOU LIKE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE? DO YOU LIKE TO TRY NEW THINGS?
CLAMOUR & ROAR – A CITIZEN’S CHORUS is an exciting theatre project that explores the landscape and people of South Dublin County. Starting autumn 2018, the Citizen’s Chorus will meet once a week to develop and rehearse a new spoken & sung choral work that will be performed in The Civic’s Main Space May 2019.
CLAMOUR & ROAR will be performed by a community chorus made up of people of all ages, 18 to 80, who live in the South Dublin County region. You don’t have to have any performance experience to take part. You don’t have to be able to act or sing. Perhaps you’ve never done anything like this before but if you want to take part we want you to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other brave souls who are up for an adventure.
CLAMOUR & ROAR will be written and directed by Veronica Coburn, a playwright and theatre director who loves to work with people from all walks of life. Veronica runs Tenderfoot, The Civic’s apprentice theatre programme for transition year students. As artist in residence in Draíocht Arts Centre she developed Hallelujah! Draíocht’s Community Clown Choir. As a playwright she has won the Prix Europa Radio France for RTE Radio Drama.
