Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week writing as activism is taking us to a land with a long history of activist thought ans action - Ireland. Born and raised in Nigeria, Dagogo Hart migrated to Ireland at an early age to complete his studies and now calls it home along with his young family. He is a poet, playwright, and spoken word artist whose words have wowed audiences from bar basements to electric picnic stages. He started performing in Dublin in 2016 in open mics and poetry slams, which saw him win the Slam Sunday grand slam and become an All Ireland poetry slam finalist. Since then he has performed for festivals like Electric Picnic, St. Patricks, Dublin Fringe, Drogheda literary festival, Cuirt International Poetry Festival, and First fortnight. He is one-third of the collective WeAreGriot - a poetry collective that curates art events around poetry. His personal works include, The Home Project (a series of poetry films), RedBeard Paddy (a poetry short film), Mmanwu (a play in the 2023 Dublin Fringe Festival), See True (a spoken word variety show) and Boy Child (a spoken-word play), the last two co-written with FeliSpeaks, Talkatives; a hip-hop and poetry slam as part of WeAreGriot. As you'll learn in our conversation and glean from his works, his poetry is inspired by his hometown in Lagos, Nigeria, and his experience since moving to Ireland. See Dagogo on stage at Pa Gya! 2024 performing his words here (https://www.youtube.com/live/Oovils3mV7o?si=Dl9TE-EqGvvNV0vK) and in discussion about his works here (https://www.youtube.com/live/fEFByAZDgwo?si=s32fQt58aspsPkOQ).

As we said back in April, we knew it was coming, it was inevitable, we said: it's gonna be May. And here it is! Hello!  This month we spoke to Dr Emma Fisher-Owen; writer, theatre designer, puppeteer and stop-motion animator. We spoke to Emma about her love of "promenade" theatre; about using 860 storage boxes to create the set for the recent production of "Handle With Care"; about "coming out" as disabled through her PhD show "Pupa"; and about the amazing meet-cute that brought her and her husband and partner in creative crime together, and led them to creating their company Beyond The Bark.  Emma got her PhD from Mary Immaculate College in 2018 in puppetry and disability. She has recently been nominated for best set design at the Dublin Fringe 2023 for What is Not Ours to Carry (Ali Clarke). She set up Beyond the Bark, an inclusive animation and puppet theatre in 2006 that creates work for old and young audiences, and has co-created and designed a number of Ceol Connected shows for young audiences including The Land of a Hundred Little Hills which just finished touring Ireland. Her film Marcach Dearg funded by the Arts Council Covid Award won best animated short at the Richard Harris International Film Festival 2021 and was a finalist for the Montreal Independent Film Festival in 2021. Emma was nominated Irish Times Set Designer in 2010 for Revengers Tragedy (Bottom Dog) and Don Juan in Hell (Limerick Hub).  She can be found at https://beyondthebark.squarespace.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondthebarkireland Twitter: Emcfisher  Instagram: beyondthebarkpuppets The Limerick Lady is a grassroots movement based in Limerick, Ireland, with a focus on promoting conversation around gender, visibility, gender balance and the arts.

We discuss the play, changing focus from preforming to writing, the importance of Government support for the arts and much more. Tickets for Traverse Theatre https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/lie-low-festival-23 Abbey Theatre Tickets https://booking.abbeytheatre.ie/events/16365?hidedate TRIGGER WARNING: brief mentions of bullying and sexual harassment in the workplace. LIE LOW Faye's Afraid. She's not sleeping, she doesn't trust ducks and all she's had to eat this week is a box of dry Rice Crispies. Award-winning new writing, Lie Low makes its Scottish debut as part of the Traverse Festival 2023. Written by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth and directed by Oisín Kearney, Lie Low is a surreal comedy that offers a theatrical exploration into the human brain via the genitals. After a break-in at her home, Faye is working through trauma, but it's not moving fast enough. A doctor recommends a form of exposure therapy, so she asks her semi-estranged brother Naoise to help. But Naoise has problems and secrets of his own, and soon the power dynamics are shifting about like mercury on a fork. Lie Low is a darkly funny play that looks at how trauma manifests in the body, filled with bizarre humour, striking visuals and brave, whip smart writing and performed by Charlotte McCurry and Michael Patrick. Lie Low is supported by the MAC and Lyric Theatre Belfast. Originally developed with the support of FRINGE LAB, Fishamble, The Mill Theatre and An Táin Arts Centre. Ciara Elizabeth Smyth Ciara Elizabeth Smyth is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter from Dublin. Her plays have been presented by the Abbey Theatre, Fishamble, Dublin Fringe, the MAC and Project Arts Centre.

This week joining Andy in the Be Grand school yard is the poet, activist and founder of Fried Plantains Collective,  Osaro Yemi Azamosa. Osaro spent the first 12 years of her life in Nigeria, the country of her birth and where she found a life of happiness and joy and tells Andy all about what an average day was like just doing the normal kid stuff of going to school and messing afterwards. Osaro’s life would change however when her family moved to Ireland and extremely difficult years throughout her teens followed. Osaro speaks about how abuse, time in direct provision and a crippling anxiety effected her. However it was these dark times as well as her realisation of her sexuality and queerness and thus finding the organisation Belong To that have fueled her work as a spoken word poet and allowed to her find happiness.  Osaro is also the founder of the Fried Plantains Collective - a group seeking to showcase music of African origin being produced in Ireland and dedicated to enhancing the visibility of LGBTQIA+ people of colour.  She made her Dublin Fringe debut last year in The Mouth Of A Shark - a theatre production that examines the stories of people who migrated or sought asylum in Ireland and those who left the country for political reasons. This is a very special episode of Be Grand and we're delighted that Yemi graced us with her time, shared with us her extraordinary story and even performed a piece of her work.  If you like what you heard, remember to review the podcast on iTunes and other outlets and stay tuned for our upcoming Christmas special. https://twitter.com/begrandpod https://twitter.com/gottheshift

Peter is an actor, writer, and dramaturg, and can turn anything into brilliant choreography.To make sure that you don’t miss an ounce of the goodness that Peter and Kristen give, I have created a TRANSCRIPT which you can find in our Facebook Group and on the TNC website as of 5/9/19. Oh yes, I paid trint some money and now you can literally copy and paste a list together of all the documentation you will need to apply for a hub, the things that the Nutella crew have learned about marketing a fringe show, and so much more! This is part one of two, so stay tuned for even more invaluable information about how to make your fringe show happen.Boys Taste Better With Nutella will be at Melbourne Fringe Festival 13 to 21 September and tickets are $29 OR LESS. It is a brilliant show, I have seen it in varying stages and loved it at all of them. And yes, yes I absolutely will be booking a plane ticket to see it tour in 2020. That is how good this show is. I am booking a $200 plane ticket to see a $29 show and sip $18 cocktails. Living my best life and all that.Tell us what you think of the episode!

"On 14 April 1984 a woman’s identity was shattered to pieces. 33 years later we are still trying to piece it back together." More than thirty years ago two tragedies set off a chain of events leading to the Kerry babies case, gripping national attention and putting the spotlight on the place of women in Irish society, sexual mores and the conduct of An Garda Síochána. Longford theatre-maker Luke Casserly is the director of a show which will be part of the Dublin Fringe festival this month called Efficacy 84. It aims to ask questions about the limitations of art and how we can, as a society, begin to engage with an event, and an Ireland, that seems so far away from us today, in the context of the Kerry babies story.
