Heartland: Tall Tales Theatre Company Announce Residency at Solstice

Fri 16 Nov 2007

Tall Tales

Early last year Solstice launched Heartland, a programme of connection and engagement between artist and building resulting in new work, commission and investigation of what is to be be of Solstice and of Co. Meath. As part of this programme, Solstice has invited Tall Tales Theatre Company to take part in an experiment to leave Dublin and work at Solstice in a meaningful and engaging way. The partnership will be based on mutual ideologies within our artistic policies concerning accessibility and environmental explorations. The first of these projects to be launched was the Tall Tales Writing Initiative – Something for Solstice. Tall Tales take up residency in Solstice in January 2008.
