The CurrentLee Arts Festival is an interactive event at Cork Opera House on April 10th
The Festival is produced by a new collective of Cork-based creatives composed of students from around the world participating in the MA in Arts Management & Creative Producing, UCC. Fusing their individual passions and backgrounds, the festival curators are exploring the arts by producing a one-day festival at Cork Opera House.
In collaboration with Cork-based artists, the festival invites the public to create and explore through an immersive journey within the Opera House. This festival is divided into a number of events throughout the day, concluding with a main evening event at the venue. CurrentLee Arts Festival utilises a variety of spaces at Cork Opera House in a celebration of Cork’s past, present, and future.
The programme includes Leeside Promenade, a showcase of music, dance, and improv comedy in a celebration of Cork’s arts scene. Conversations with Strangers, the closing event, is a one-off, unique across-the-table event where everyone is welcome to engage in informal and open dialogue facilitated and guided by curious and socially intriguing questions.
“It's a pleasure to welcome UCC’s Arts Management and Creative Producing MA students back to Cork Opera House this year and we are very much looking forward to working with them on the CurrentLee Arts Festival,” said Cork Opera House CEO Eibhlín Gleeson. “Cork Opera House is delighted to play its part in helping this cohort of incredible arts producers emerge into the industry, CurrentLee is full of fresh and innovative programming, an ideal platform for these new producers. We look forward to hosting this festival and its audience at Cork Opera House.”
