Opportunities for Artists and Arts Workers

Fostering Professional Development is part of our mission.

Our new studio at 42 Fairview Strand enables us to provide inventive opportunities for independent artists and performing arts professionals.

In addition to bespoke masterclasses and tailored studio supports, we work together witha number of organisations, collaborating on structured creative support programmes, including Irish Theatre Institute. 

CoisCéim is also a founding partner of, and administrates the Emma O’Kane Bursary, which provides an unbounded opportunity for artists to explore and embrace dance, movement or a physical language in their work.
