News from our good friends at the Arts Office. In a time when practicing artists may still be feeling a financial pinch, and a week-long drama bursary available, it would be worth your while checking out what’s on offer with the DLI’s Summer School for 2010.

Kilkenny County Council Arts Office in partnership with the Drama League of Ireland is offering a week long Summer School workshop to one practitioner domiciled in Kilkenny.

The aim of the Bursary is to promote and foster all aspects of amateur drama in Kilkenny, both acting and emerging amateur drama practitioners, in giving them an opportunity to work intensively on a drama course alongside others in an idyllic setting at the University of Limerick campus.

The Drama League of Ireland Summer School will facilitate participant’s development while furthering their knowledge and experience in dealing with other professionals involved in the drama world.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications for both Bursaries is no later than 4pm on Friday 7th May 2010.
