We are really excited to present the first in person meet-up of Join The Dots as part of Performing Arts Forum Sligo Gathering. It will take place on Wednesday 29.05.2024 at 14.30. Designers and theatremakers of all kinds are invited to walk, discuss, and digest the event (and their lunch) together.

The walk will be led by artist and designer Lian Bell, and the aim is for us all to have expanded our network by the time we disband – and had a chance to stroll through Sligo.

Join The Dots is a series of informal community-growing activities run by ISPD and funded by the Arts Council.

These informal events will happen nationwide throughout 2024 in-person and online.

For and with designers, we would like to welcome other professionals in the sector such as directors, choreographers, producers, production managers, stage managers, etc.

With that in mind, we have created two different surveys to assess your preferences in terms of location, days, times and format.

We would be very grateful if you could fill out the survey that is relevant to you to help us make an assessment on how to conduct these gatherings in the best possible way… so you can all take part in them!

Please, click on the relevant image and the survey will open in a new tab/window.

Thanks in advance for your help. If you have any questions or access issues to fill out the form, please email us at production[at]ispd.ie and we’ll be delighted to assist you.
