Theatre: Better Together at Droichead Arts Centre

Better Together: Devised by Ablevision Productions in association with Quintessence Theatre Company and funded by the Creative Ireland Programme.

“The greatest gift of life is friendship.”
“Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.”
“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘You too? I thought I was the only one.’”
“Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart.”

Over a series of collaborative workshops Quintessence Theatre, our Theatre Company in Residence, have joined forces with Ablevision to share some of their favourite theatrical storytelling techniques, and together have created a short piece of movement, drama, tableaux, and multi-media, meditating on the universal theme of friendship.

Ablevision Productions is an organisation that works with adults with intellectual disabilities through the arts with a focus on collaborative projects between participants and professional artists. Projects to date include: Films: Joe and Sarah, A Crack in Everything & Little Fairy Tree: Dance with Cathy O’ Kennedy, Bodies in Motion which was premiered on stage at the Ablevision International Film Festival. Ablevision and Droichead Arts Centre are delighted to announce a new collaborative partnership, where the Centre provides space and support for all Ablevision projects, and advises on long term strategies for the organisation.
