Here At Macnas
10-31-2002, 07:35 PM
We have set up a community arts forum on the site below and would love to hear your comments.
It is hoped to get organisations from around the world to discuss the benifits of community arts and share experiences.
Macnas volunteers launch their own web-site ‘Here At Macnas’
Here at Macnas
http://here.at/macnas
Macnas enthusiasts have launched their own web-site to celebrate Macnas the community based arts and theatre company. Volunteers who performed in the most recent project Gráinne Mhaol have designed this web-site.
The objective of the Here at Macnas web-site (http://here.at/macnas) is for it to become the site for those who have seen or participated in events organised by Macnas community arts organisation.
Here at Macnas is an independent, non-commercial, site, in fact a labour of love, which will give visitors to the site the opportunity to talk about Macnas, praise, constructively criticise, if that is warranted, encourage, make suggestions, promote the organisation, get the latest news of activities, and generally communicate with one another.
Macnas, founded in 1986 in Galway, has established itself as one of the most exciting energies in the Arts in Ireland. Macnas brings its particular blend of imagination, passion, wit and self-confidence to bear on a heritage of Irish story and legend in a variety of settings: in theatres, on streets, in stadiums and in television studios in Ireland and abroad.
At present the Here At Macnas web-site contains:
Many photos of Macnas’s Gráinne Mhaol show while it was being performed in Coventry in August of this year.
Information on Granuaile, pirate, chieftain, gambler, noblewoman, traitor, mercenary, all are terms that have been applied to her. Granuaile was born as the English king Henry VIII implemented his "surrender and re-grant" policy over Ireland and died as Hugh O'Neill and Hugh O'Donnell were defeated. That she lived to be over seventy in that turbulent period that ended an era is a tribute to the strength of character and reason she possessed.
Background to the development of the Gráinne Mhaol show and the company responsible for it Macnas.
Some press reviews (Not Compleeted)
Comments from people involved with the show.
A Guestbook
We are looking for input into Here At Macnas. “If you would like to contribute (i.e. comments on Macnas events, be they positive or negative, relevant photo/s that you will allow us to display, or assist in any other way) we would be most grateful.
EireInSite, the developers of the site, who also developed the multi-award winning JillTeck.com, for the artist of that name, which is one of the most visited individual artist sites in the world, hope that Here at Macnas will be equaly successful in promoting Macnas. We hope you will visit this site at http://here.at/macnas.
On a personal note Jim Aherne would like to thank all those who performed with him in the Gráinne Mhaol show “thank you so much for so many happy memories”. For those who saw the show “thank you for such a warm response”. Finally he wishes to thank “all those in Macnas, the Belgrade Theatre Company, Coventry and the management and staff of Farmleigh House, Dublin, who gave him and his fellow actors the opportunity to prove our abilities”.
