Were you involved in Community SIAMSA in Limerick during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s?
If you took part in Community Siamsa in Limerick - as a performer, musician, technician, volunteer, or audience member during the 1970s–1990s - your memories are an important part of Limerick’s cultural history.
Award-winning playwright and theatre maker Helena Enright, working with The GAFF, is inviting people to share their stories, recollections, and reflections of this unique period in Limerick’s community theatre life. These stories will contribute to both an oral history archive and the development of a new theatre piece.
Enright is a socially engaged artist and researcher whose work is rooted in documentary theatre, personal narrative, and the archive. She holds an MA in Drama & Theatre Studies (UCC) and a PhD in Performance Practice (University of Exeter, UK).
Attached is an information pack which explains more about the project and what is involved.
This is a unique opportunity to share your experiences and help shape a theatrical work that celebrates Limerick’s vibrant community arts heritage. Selected stories may be used in the play and the accompanying archive, ensuring these voices are preserved for future generations
If you would like to be involved contact Helena via email [email protected] or by text message on 089-6169243
