Camden Palace Hotel in conjunction with Sirius Arts Centre Presents

Pat “The Picket” Allen Exhibition
featuring the photography of Doug DuBois
Opening 7PM, 2nd February 2011 and running until25th February

Pat Allen was a very special part of Cork City. Arriving at protests in outlandish costumes, he became well known in the city for illustrating in a special way the uniqueness of this creative city.

The exhibition is a celebration of the life and times of Pat Allen (1953-2010). It will feature studio photographs of Pat in various costumes as taken this past summer by NY portrait photographer Doug DuBois . Pat’s numerous costumes and other effects will be on display as well as a collection of photos and press clippings collected from Pats friends and protesting allies. To this end, we invite these people to submit any photos, press clippings, artwork, etc. they may have of Pat for possible inclusion in the exhibition. Any submissions can be brought to the 1st floor office in Camden Palace Hotel before the end of January (we will still take submissions during the exhibition as well).

Please come out at 7PM 2nd of February to celebrate the life of Corks’ most famous and colourful protester, Pat “The Picket” Allen.

Awakenings - an exhibition of art created by women who have experienced domestic violence

November 26 - 10 December 2010

Opening hours Monday - Saturday 11am - 6pm

This exhibition shows work by a group of women who have experienced domestic abuse. The group worked with artist Charlotte Donovan over a three month period to create artwork to highlight the issue and raise awareness. The exhibition marks the international ’16 Days of Action to Eliminate Violence Against Women’.

The project was organised by Cork Domestic Violence Interagency Group, funded by Cosc and the HSE and hosted by The Camden Palace Hotel.

Introduction to Shakespeare is for adult actors of any level, from none to expert. Focus will be on making Shakespeare
accessible and fun. We will demystify dense text that can lend itself to a stiff, declamatory delivery and bring it to life.

Finding physical freedom and emotional truth within scenes will be our goal with the expectation that a clear and natural delivery will follow.

Before we learn to act, we have to learn to play.
