A Life of Play
Led by Emma O’Kane
Comissioned by Age & Opportunity / Bealtaine Festival in partnership with Dublin Dance FESTIVAL
PRESENTED AS PART OF BEALTAINE @ TEMPLE BAR
APRIL – MAY
Grandchildren bring your Grandparents! Come and take part in A LIFE OF PLAY where everyone can create, anyone can dance and all can play. Use your body, move to music, dress up and explore in a playground of the imagination – a place of mischievous, magical invention where fun feels right at home.
A LIFE OF PLAY is a creative dance and play project for children aged 5 -10 and their older family members aged 50+. Pair up and join Emma O’Kane on 3, 4 or 5 May at Project Arts Centre. Then on Sunday 6 May, everyone is invited to PLAY outdoors together in Meeting House Square, all as part of Bealtaine @ Temple Bar and Dublin Dance Festival.
A LIFE OF PLAY is organised in partnership with Age & Opportunity as part of the nationwide Bealtaine festival – celebrating the arts and creativity as we age.
