The sky may be a little grey today but the summer has only just begun! Here's a few suggestions to get those creative juices flowing this July in Temple Bar...
The Summer Sensational (July 8th to 11th) is an age-friendly festival right in the heart of the city and The Ark is delighted to be involved, with an exciting week of sensory workshops entitled Feast for the Senses (July 8th to 12th).
We will be exploring taste, touch, sight, sound and smell in five workshops over five days. Discover a different sense every day, or enjoy all five, in our hour-long workshops with artist Jane Groves:
Yummy-Scrummy Thurs 8 July
Touchy-Feely Fri 9 July
Scope Up Sat 10 July
Listen In Sun 11 July
Aroma-Rama Mon 12 July
And the fun doesn’t stop there! Saturday in Temple Bar is always full of life and markets but the weekend of the 10th and 11th of July will be something quite spectacular.
Why not make a day of it and try and find The Joculator roaming round Temple Bar in the morning ('a bicycle propelled and powered electro acoustic vehicle from which the composer is able to create, record and perform his music publicly'1), join the Rattle & Roll Club at Smock Alley Theatre from 12pm (family disco), sign up for the Scope Up workshop at The Ark at 2.30pm (use mirrors and card to construct a periscope, then decorate it with crayons, glitter, sequins, see-through and reflective materials), followed by The Secret of Kells (outdoor screening) at Meeting House Square at 10pm!
What a day!
