AN JIG GIG
Series 2

TG4’s hit show returns with a mission to find the best traditional Irish dancers in Ireland

Last year An Jig Gig burst onto our screens with dancers of all ages, disciplines and codes, battling it out to become Ireland’s best traditional dance act.
In a nail-biting final last December, Irish Beats finally emerged victorious to claim the title of An Jig Gig Champions 2009, triumphing over World Champion Clodagh Roper, Celtic Roots, and The Mark Donnellan Memorial Team.

Now it’s time to begin the search for An Gig Jig Champion 2010!

Hosted by Róisín Ní Thomáin, the show will again see hundreds of acts, from all different styles of Irish dance, and all age groups, take to the stage.

Keeping a close eye on all the talented hopefuls are our 3 judges.

Breandán de Gallaí, former lead dancer with Riverdance, Breandán is used to working with the world’s top Irish dancers. He is a hard man to impress and any dancer going on stage in front of him, aiming to be crowned the best Irish dance act in Ireland, better give the performance of their lives!

Dearbhla Lennon, also a former lead dancer of Riverdance, has experienced performing at the top level in Irish dance for years. Like Breandán, she is an expert in the field, and will quickly weed out the chancers from the talented dancers.

Labhrás Sonaí Choilm Learraí, a champion Sean-nós dancer, and a fanatical supporter of the older styles of Irish dance completes the judging panel. Labhras, a man who knows what he likes, won’t be pulling any punches with such a prestigious prize at stake.

All 3 judges are experts in the field of Irish dance, but will they see eye to eye with such a variety of styles on display? Or will the Riverdancers clash with the Sean-nós? Sparks are sure to fly again on An Jig Gig…..

With all the incredible traditional dance talent in Ireland, no one can know for sure who will emerge victorious. Only one thing is for certain – one act will be crowned champion and will claim the title of best traditional Irish dance act 2010.

AN JIG GIG


Tar éis iontais na bliana anuraidh tráth ar tugadh damhsóirí Gaelacha den uile chineál agus aois inár láthair, tá An Jig Gig ag filleadh do shéasúr eile.

B'iad Irish Beats a thug an chraobh leo, cé gur chuir na trúpaí eile a shroich an babhta ceannais - Clodagh Roper, Celtic Roots, agus The Mark Donnellan Memorial Team a ndúshlán go maith go dtí an deireadh.

Seo linn arís, mar sin, ar thóir damhsóirí den scoth do shraith 2010.

Is í Róisín Ní Thomáin, a chuirfidh an clár i láthair agus is iad seo leanas na moltóirí:

Breandán de Gallaí, príomhdhamhsóir le Riverdance ar feadh i bhfad agus Stiúrthóir Damhsa leis an seó iontach sin anois. Tá taithí na mblianta ag Breandán ag obair le réalta an damhsa agus aithníonn sé an scoth nuair a fheiceann sé é.

Dearbhla Lennon príomhdhamhsóir le Riverdance, duine de réalta an damhsa sa tír seo le blianta anuas, saineolaí a thuigeann an ealaín.

Labhrás Sonaí Choilm Learraí, fear a bhfuil craobhacha damhsa ar an sean-nós buaite aige agus duine atá thar a bheith dílis don sean stil. Ní chuirfidh Labhrás fiacail ina bhreithiúnas.

Beidh an triúr moltóirí ar thóir ardchaighdeáin, fuinnimh agus spleodair, tréithe atá ar fáil go forleathan ag lucht an damhsa Ghaelaigh. Beidh na scórtha san iomaíocht ach ní bheidh ann ach aon bhuaiteoir amháin, faraor.

Tá cead isteach ag aon damhsóir Gaelach, cuma cén stíl, cuma cén aois, cuma an duine aonair, beirt, triúr nó trúpa atá i gceis.

Má tá steip agat agus fonn iomaíochta ort, bí linn.

Press Release – 7 May 2010

Dublin Youth Theatre is holding auditions for fifteen sponsored places for a two week summer school for young people from immigrant communities between the ages of 14 – 22 who live in Dublin.

Auditions, Wednesday 26th May 2010, 6pm – 9pm, Dublin Youth Theatre, 23 Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin 1

7 May 2010; Dublin Youth Theatre (DYT) were delighted to confirm today that they will be hosting a two week summer school, funded by Dublin City Council Integration Office, for young people from immigrant communities between the ages of 14 – 22 who live in Dublin.

The summer school will be held from 5th – 9th July & 12th – 16th July from 11am – 4pm daily.

The summer school will be facilitated by DYT’s Artistic Director Gary Keegan, also of Brokentalkers Theatre Company. Gary’s practice aims to create new, innovative and accessible live performance that transcends cultural and geographical boundaries, dealing with universal stories of contemporary life. The summer school will be co-facilitated by Róisín McGann, ex-DYT member, Artstrain graduate and Associate Producer with THEATREclub.

The workshops will explore multi-culturalism and participants own experiences of living in a multi-cultural society in keeping with Brokentalker's policy to create work that responds to the contemporary world of which it is a part, and to draw from the skills, experiences and interests of the collective to inform the development of the work.

The project is intended to promote dialogue, interaction and understanding between young members of Dublin’s immigrant community and DYT members through theatre.

It is also intended to act as a means of improving access to Dublin Youth Theatre and the area of Youth Theatre activities in general for young members of immigrant communities.

Fifteen young people from immigrant communities will be selected from workshop auditions (young people do not need to prepare anything in advance) which will be held on Wednesday 26th May from 6pm – 9pm in Dublin Youth Theatre.

Those selected must be able to attend ALL of the dates of the summer school from 5th – 9th July & 12th – 16th July from 11am – 4pm daily and have English as a working language.

Four actors need for a low-budget film based in Dublin. This is a black comedy based on a mother who thinks her son is dating a blow up doll.

Characters Needed

Maureen (Mother)50-65yrs - Eccentric, and a little warped not compeletly removed from reality.

Declan (Husband) 50-65yrs - Maureens' long suffering hen pecked husband.

Christian (Son) 20-30yrs - Suffers from anxitey, reluctant to introduce his new girl friend to his Mother.

Jessica (Jammer) 20-30yrs - as real woman she is an ambitious blonde.

Must be available mid-january. If interested please contact Orla/Daniel at Libertiesproductions@gmail.com.




Hope to hear from you!!:)

Shooting a very short film (5mins) for an exhibition about NAMA @ the end of the month and need 2 actors to play Mulder and Scully from the X-Files.

***Actors do not need to look like Mulder and Scully (in fact ideally they won't!), so it's a pretty open casting...***

Shooting will take 3/4 hours in an indoors, city centre location on the 20th of January.

Unpaid, but food and refreshments will be provided, and it should be kind of fun to shoot. Working from a finished script, but am also open to input/improvisation from actors involved.

If interested, please email headshots/photos to: chriscotimms@gmail.com
...thanks!
