TEDDY TALKS
Theatre Lovett's Advice Clinics Series
Theatre for All
About
Theatre Lovett are at Fringe Lab for our next series of clinics. Join us for an exchange of ideas and discussion on how we can create engaging theatre experiences for audiences of all ages.
Muireann Ahern director of The Maestro and the Mosquita by Carmel Winters (Winner Best Produciton at Dublin Fringe festival 2024) will lead the sessions. Performer Louis Lovett shares valuable insights into performing for all ages and Fringe Executive Director Elissavet Chatzinota will make budgets seem a little more friendly! We encourage participants to come prepared with questions and actively contribute to the conversation.
TEDDY TALKS is a great opportunity to connect with peers and colleagues both in Ireland and internationally.
