We had such a great night with Clare Byrne & Ink the Octopus last week!

It was really special to have Clare back with us after her residency in February. As a development space, we’ll often see work in progress, but it was wonderful to present the material fully developed just a few months later. Clare’s performance was not without a bit of movement thrown in, too!

Dan & Remy from Ink the Octopus were such a pleasure to host – though we expected nothing less from friends of Clare. They’re incredibly talented musicians, and they even got the crowd involved in a sing-song!

We had great attendance (35+ people) and good food. Hughie was stationed at the BBQ, which had to be moved inside due to weather. Despite a bit of smoke, it ended up making for a cosy evening.  We were delighted to welcome so many new faces.

Aissa Lopez had her work on display in the studio upstairs. We were so grateful to have her give some insight into her process during her residency! Stay tuned for a blog about Aissa later this week.

Thanks so much to everyone for coming! Let us know if you enjoyed what you saw – and what you’d like to see more of in the future.
