The Performing Arts Forum “The Gathering” is a key networking and professional development event for theatre and performing arts practitioners from across Ireland. Hosted by Performing Arts Forum, it brings together artists, producers, and arts workers for a programme of talks, discussions, and opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen professional relationships. The Gathering supports knowledge-sharing across the sector and encourages collaboration and dialogue around current artistic and industry practices.
Kilkenny County Council Arts Office offers a bursary to support one Kilkenny-based theatre professional to attend this event. The bursary is designed to help remove financial barriers to participation, enabling the recipient to benefit fully from the experience. It includes a stipend contribution towards travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs such as meals.
This opportunity aims to support the continued professional development of local theatre practitioners while fostering connections between Kilkenny artists and the wider national performing arts community. The recipient is expected to engage actively with the event and bring back insights, learning, and contacts that will contribute to their own practice and the broader cultural landscape in Kilkenny.
