Oíche Chultúir: Áras Scríbhneoirí na hÉireann – Bilingual Takin’ the Mic

Bíonn Takin’ the Mic ag Áras Scríbhneoirí na hÉireann ina shár-oíche filíochta, focal labhartha agus grinn i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge. In éineacht le ban an tí Bláithín de Burca, beidh Gustav Parker Hibbett ann mar aoi speisialta chomh maith le ‘mic-oscailte’* le haghaidh scríbhneoirí, filí agus ceoltóirí. Fáilte roimh chách!

*An bhfuil spéis agat a bheith páirteach san oíche?

Ag ócáidí Takin’ the Mic bíonn Áras Scríbhneoirí na hÉireann ag iarraidh ardán a thabhairt do réimse leathan ealaíontóirí, idir seánra agus taithí. Bíonn fáilte roimh chách! Tugann oícheanta Takin’ the Mic deis iontach duit aird a tharraingt ar do chuid scríbhneoireachta. B’fhéidir gur mhaith leat píosa atá scríofa le tamall a roinnt le lucht éisteachta nua.

Ba chóir do thaibheoirí a spéis a chlárú roimh ré tríd an suirbhé google. Má roghnítear tú, cuirfear sin in iúil dúit seachtain roimh an ócáid. Tugtar trí nóiméad do gach taibheoir.

*Interested in performing on the night?

At our Takin’ the Mics, we aim to showcase a diverse range of performers, from genre to experience. Our Takin’ the Mics are a great opportunity to either take your new writing out for a spin or dust off a past piece to share with a new audience. This event is supported by Foras na Gaeilge.

Make sure you sign up in advance to take part (via this google form). We aim to inform performers of their slot via email a week before the event. Each performer will be given three minutes.
