Moments of Wisdom the pilot programme for a new Firkin Crane initiative began with some incredible generosity by established artists. In this instance the Chair 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.
