The History of the Troubles Casting
Hello writers! Great reading tonight of Shadow! Good for you! Tomorrow night we read The History of the Troubles (accordin’ to my Da) by Martin Lynch, Conor Grimes and Alan McKee. We’ll meet Martin next week 18 July in Belfast. History of the Troubles was first performed in May 2002, commissioned as part of the […]
Who, what, when, where. But why?
“Where are you from?” It’s one of the first questions they ask you when you enter University residences. And from that point on, everyone around you has expectations. If you’re from a big city they expect a certain attitude or knowledge, if you’re from a small-town they expect a certain personality and set of habits. […]
It’s all in the perspective
I made my first round-trip from Dublin to Armagh yesterday to meet with the lovely group of students participating in this year’s Armagh Project. It never ceases to amaze me how each year we attract a group of people who are so open to new ideas and so willing to learn about new cultures; it’s […]
The Throne of Games
The size of this group has quickly come to fit its container. My three journalism students are already hot on the trail of good stories here. The three theater & design students I glimpse in the Quiet Room being creatively unquiet with their three instructors, generating ideas for 10-minutes plays we’ll present at the John […]
Teach me how to recognize a pattern Volume 1
The composition & color palettes in these images made me excited about the direct & indirect patterns that were present through my perspective. Enjoy.
Lines and Circles
This time we challenged everyone to find patterns. The mosaic work in the Catholic Cathedral has always stayed in my mind for it’s rich, detailed patterns. It is something I look forward to seeing each time I visit here. Today though, I also noticed the striking sculpture out front of the Marketplace Theatre in the […]
Patterns In the Window
When I first got to explore Armagh, I immediately noticed a couple pieces of clothing in a shop window of Lila’s Clothing. They reminded me of clothing you would see in a slightly different environment. The dresses, hats, and white tennis shoes reminded me of the fashions I would see in sunny beach towns like […]
Patterns in Armagh
This is from the St. Patrick’s church gardens. It was really pretty, and it was fun to be able to see some of the beautiful nature in Armagh. These are arches over a pathway in one of the gardens.
“Shot-Gun” Patterns
A day of studying and learning more about the educational offerings of Armagh was not without its moments of general tomfoolery. After some prompting I found myself watching for the different patterns of the city, even as I fell into my own pattern for the next month of sleep, eat, write, repeat. It resulted in […]
Dan Corrigan and plentiful patterns
Just about everywhere you look in Armagh is some rich texture or pattern waiting to be tactically discovered, sensed and felt. Often, as in the photo in this post, the patterns overlap with the textures with a lush density that can swallow your attention until you must break free to find the next (or rush […]
