An Taibhdhearc & Moonfish Theatre
Open Workshop for Irish Language Theatre Practitioners
An Taibhdhearc is delighted to be working with Galway-based Moonfish Theatre as its company in residence. As part of this residency, Moonfish Theatre will offer an open workshop for theatre practitioners who currently work, or are interested in working, through the Irish language.
The workshop will take place in Galway city on November 14th 2026 and will introduce participants to Moonfish’s collaborative devising practice, exploring how language, storytelling, movement, music and other theatrical forms can come together in the creation of original performance. Participants will be encouraged to experiment, collaborate and consider how the Irish language can become an active and creative element of the theatrical process, rather than simply a question of translation.
An Taibhdhearc and Moonfish are especially keen to open this workshop up to people from diverse backgrounds with an interest in the language. The paid workshop is aimed at theatre practitioners working through Irish, as well as artists and makers who are interested in developing their practice through the language. A basic level of Irish is necessary to take part.
