"Leg Day? Arm Day? No Sweat"!

Over at Train Station Galway, the fantastic trainers have been putting the actors through their paces most weeks in circuits of whole body movements, use of equipment, core training and functional fitness exercises .Aside of the fact we love it, it's been highly beneficial to everyone. The series of classes 'Motion Centre Stage' was made possible by the support of Healthy Galway City Galway City Council for which we are very grateful. 💪💪💪

Graduating third-year students had the opportunity to volunteer and gain valuable work experience with Galway International Arts Festival as part of our WorkAbility Programme . Over the past two weeks, Jess, Sinead, Niamh & Aoibhín have been invigilating galleries, acting as stewards (and occasionally participants) in the Silent Disco, working in the box office and dealing directly with the public.
We are incredibly proud of their professionalism, confidence and enthusiasm they brought to every role. A huge thank you to the GIAF team for giving our students such a welcoming and meaningful opportunity to develop their skills, contribute to a major cultural event and show just how much they have to offer.
Well Done Ladies!

Making MATECRIME
"This is a film of firsts. It’s safe to say the entire company will never forget this inaugural film producing experience. When theatre and film makers come together, the output might be different, but the focus, camaraderie and dedication is paralleled. Our most sincere thanks to everyone who supported us along the way and to Galway Film Fleadh for selecting our short for Goin' Out West which screens tomorrow (Wed 8th June.)" - Hillary Kavanagh, Producer.
