Pots, Paints and Plays with Gemma Bradley

Taal: NL
Categorie: actualiteit

Musician and broadcaster Gemma Bradley returns home to her rural roots to spend some quality creative time with three arts practitioners living and working in her native Mid-Ulster. Gemma meets Conor Larkin, former butcher, turned painter and observes his practice, both on location and in his studio where she tries her hand at watercolour work. She gets stuck in, and has a go herself, learning how to throw a clay pot with ceramic artist Stephen McGuigan. Her last adventure takes her to the Bardic theatre in Donaghmore, where actor Brian McMahon takes her through a performance workshop. Inspired by these very different artists, all of whom are making it work for themselves in the place where Gemma's own creative journey began, she returns to the site of her first public performance, where she reflects on the importance of supporting talent and making space for creative people in rural Northern Ireland.
