Moments of Wisdom is the pilot programme for a new Firkin Crane initiative. In this instance we engage an established artist or dance industry professional in a structured conversation, programmed for 30 minutes of our regular monthly forums. The idea is 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.  Maria Nilsson Waller & Stace Gill-April, Dr. Breandán de Gallaí-May, Catherine Young) -July, Anne Maher-August, Chantal McCormick-November


Open forum programmed every second month, which means open agenda section for discussion of anything you wish to bring to the forum.

Calling all Dance professionals and Dance and Movement Artists in Cork and Munster. The Board and executive of Firkin Crane invite you to a board facilitated meeting to present our proposed organisational restructuring discussions for Firkin Crane, our proposed sectoral supports and engagements for 2020, and our plans for re-opening.


We'd love to hear feedback on our plans, and understand further what Firkin Crane can do to support contemporary dance practice in Cork and beyond, both through this current crisis and into the future.

Dancer Lee Barrett was keeping spirits up while stuck at sea, and made this video at the suggestion of Chair of the Board of Directors of Firkin Crane following the message of his plight being brought to the boards attention by Director Patricia Crosbie. Yvonne followed up with Lee on his case and helped to promote his situation on behalf of Firkin Crane. 

Many thanks to the department of foreign affairs for working to get our boy home where he belongs! All at Firkin Crane are delighted to have been in a position to offer support to the dancer.

Many thanks to all Opinionline on 96fm and Evening Echo for support. See RSVP links page for more detail on this coverage.
