672 This isn’t your everyday kind of night out at the theatre – what was the inspiration behind An Evening Of Extraordinary Ideas?
Unsurprisingly, it’s one hell of an eclectic line-up, with award-winning stand-up Danny O’Brien rubbing shoulders with Ron Heaslip Dance, flautist Lina Andonovska, percussionist Alex Petcu, and beyond. Hard to pull such a motley crew together…?
Given just how eclectic the line-up, is there a definite thread running through the night, or is it more of an organic process of finding the most interesting artists around…?
Given the nature of this peculiar beast, it could be tricky for Joe and Joanna Sixpack to get their head around An Evening Of Extraordinary Ideas. How best to explain such a night to the uninitiated…?
Just to make the night even more special, all these performances, talks and workshops will take place immediately after a tour of perhaps Wicklow’s grooviest new penthouse apartments. That’s got to be a first, right…?
What would you hope people will get out of the night itself, beyond entertainment? Potentially, a lot of seeds could be sown here…
You curated a magnificent line-up of live music for Culture Night at The Whale – where did this gift for pulling together these mini-Woodstocks come from…?
The shift in not only how art is made today but how it’s distributed and consumed has been industry-shattering over the past decade. Optimistic for the future, or is there a fear that the wild west of the internet may ultimately make all art free and, therefore, disposable…?
And where to for Brian O’ Regan next…?
