Just a gentle reminder that ‘The Magic of Puppets’ is happening in just 16 days and that bookings will close in 8 days.

Niamh Lawlor is a master puppeteer and actor and an absolutely brilliant facilitator. She has over 30 years of experience working with puppets.
By the end of the course, you'll walk away with a whole new appreciation for the power of puppetry.
You will learn:
How to create your own puppet, using simple recyclable material
How to bring a puppet to life
Techniques to tell stories using puppets, creatively and meaningfully, and emotionally. Practical skills in voice, movement, and character work.
(Note: You dont' have to be good at art!)
If you’re interested in this course, and would like to have a day off from the your normal Saturday of jobs, phones and drab responsibilities, I invite you to step into the world of pure imagination, have fun, and all in a supportive group. We’ll all be newbies, including me! I’ve never worked with puppets, but I’m so looking forward to it, because I think that having a puppet is kinda like wearing a mask. It allows us to become someone else, just for one day.
Don’t think about it jump in, my puppet is looking forward to meeting your puppet! Booking link below.
Bookings will close on October 3rd, and we need a minimum of nine participants to run the course.
If you can’t make this one. Please pass to friend who you feel might enjoy it.
It would be a shame to miss it
Warmest wishes,
Gabrielle Breathnach

We had a great workshop last month, led by the talented Bryan Burroughs, who focused on movement and physical theatre. Big thank you to Valerie in Drama League of Ireland for her support. Below is a sample of some feedback from two newcomers:

"I attended a workshop organised by Gabrielle at Discovery Drama. I was thrilled to have come across it on Eventbrite—it was such an inspiring experience. The session, led by Bryan Burroughs, was an exceptional introduction to physical theatre. Bryan’s deep expertise and generous teaching style made the session rich and engaging. Gabrielle fostered a warm, welcoming space where everyone, regardless of experience, felt comfortable and supported. It truly felt like a safe space, which is so important in creative work."

"Excellently organised workshop by Gabrielle. Highly recommended for anyone considering giving one a try!"

Save the Date
Our next workshop will take place on Saturday, September 13th, and I’ll be leading this one myself. Further details will be shared later in the summer. PLease mark the date in your calendars.
