This edition of Arts & Disability Radio on Near FM came about when presenter Pádraig Naughton visited Kilkenny Collective for Arts Talent in Callan to meet artist Andrew Pike to discuss his retrospective exhibition ‘The Bright Side’. Pádraig also talked to artist and facilitator Paul Bokslag to get a brief history of KCAT and the Abhainn Rí Festival which brought Callan’s Bridge Street alive with 70 actors and sold out performances. 

Arts & Disability Radio 13, Paul Bokslag Interview

Sandra is looking for love. Gordon is seeking acceptance. Simon just wants these parents to stop talking for two minutes so he can get on with teaching their kids.

And Casper?

Casper is not here.

What I (Don’t) Know About Autism takes the audience on a highly theatrical journey. Performed by a cast of autistic and non-autistic actors, it is a sometimes comic, sometimes heartbreaking look at the world of autism. The play mixes narrative, song, dance and direct address to explore this contentious and often misunderstood subject matter.

Inspired by the writer’s own experiences with autism, the play celebrates autistic identity whilst offering deeper insight and understanding to non-autistic audiences.

A sometimes comic, sometimes heart-breaking journey into the world of autism.

All performances will be relaxed performances. This means there will be a relaxed approach to noise during the show and audience members are free to move about or leave the auditorium as they need.

Funded by the Arts Council and Wicklow County Council with the support of The Everyman, the Abbey Theatre, Mermaid Arts Centre, AsIAm, Fishamble New Play Company, Rough Magic Theatre Company, KCAT and Triple A Wicklow.

Arts and Disability Connect information session with Áine O'Hara - Training award

The Birthday Party is a deeply personal story about mental illness which I think we can all relate to; it's about how the place you're from shapes who you are, whether you like it or not. It's about home, and family, and why the inside of your head can be the most unwelcoming place of all.

My practice is multidisciplinary and this work has taken on many forms over the years, from theatre to visual art. I am really excited to present this work as part of The Finest Specimens of Fossilized Duration as I am hugely interested in how multisensory work can make exhibitions more accessible for audiences and artists.

This piece is rooted in the place I am from, rural North Mayo. In the brain, memories are tied inexplicably to place. This work was created from my own memories of this place and from spoken histories which were passed down to me. It is a celebration of people who were never able to celebrate themselves. Throughout this work I move from playing myself to my grandmother and back again and imagine what my life would have been like if I had grown up in 1930’s Ireland as someone who has dealt with debilitating panic attacks from a very young age.
