Moments of Wisdom a new Firkin Crane initiative began with some incredible generosity by established artists where the Chairperson of the Board, Yvonne Coughlan engaged an established artist or dance industry professional in a structured conversation, programmed for 30 minutes of the regular monthly forums. The idea being to provide new or emerging artists with the opportunity to connect with someone, who has already traversed the difficulties of becoming established as an expert in their field. Guests were Maria Nilsson Waller & Stace Gill in April, Dr. Breandán de Gallaí in May, Catherine Young in July, Anne Maher in August, Chantal McCormick in November.
