Bealtaine Festival 2018
Chief Executive’s
Message
We believe that the month of
May belongs to the Bealtaine
festival, celebrating creativity
as we age! The Bealtaine
Festival gives everyone the
opportunity to discover a new
talent or find a new way to use
an old skill. It is an opening to
make new friends and connect
with your community. The
name Bealtaine comes from
the ancient Celtic festival
of that name celebrating
springtime, freshness and
renewal.
South Dublin County Council
has organised a number of
events during the month to
celebrate this festival and has
produced this programme to
advertise the wide variety of
events and activities that are
planned for the festival.
In South Dublin County the
number of people age 65
and over is 23,053 and is

CLAMOUR & ROAR will be performed by a community chorus made up of people of all ages, 18 to 80, who live
in the South Dublin County region. You don’t have to have any performance experience to take part. You
don’t have to be able to act or sing. Perhaps you’ve never done anything like this before but if you want to take
part we want you to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other brave souls who are up for an adventure.
CLAMOUR & ROAR, developed and directed by Veronica Coburn, a playwright and theatre director who loves
to work with people from all walks of life, will be performed in The Civic Theatre in Tallaght.
If you like the sound of the CITIZEN’S CHORUS why don’t you come along to a taster workshop where you can
meet the people involved and try your hand at singing and laughing and telling stories. There are two taster
workshops on the following dates.
May 5th The Civic Theatre, Belgard Square East, Tallaght 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
May 19th The Civic Theatre, Belgard Square East, Tallaght 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
If you would like to sign up for one of the taster workshops or if you want to know more
please email Veronica at clamourandroar@gmail.com or contact her on 087 9790906.
CLAMOUR & ROAR – A CITIZEN’S CHORUS is commissioned under IN CONTEXT 4 – IN OUR TIME, South
Dublin County Council’s Public Art Programme for 2016 – 2019 under the Per Cent for Art Scheme.
