Hi all, Gradfest26 organises a theatrical play called 'Penelope' , isnpired by the classical Greek myth, at the Lir (National Academy of Dramatic Art). I attended some plays there and I absolutely loved them; they showcased the upcoming talent of Irish theatre. YOU NEED TO BOOK A TICKET DIRECTLY WITH LIR. Please see below link for details: https://www.thelir.ie/events/gradfest26-penelope I have booked my ticket for July 7th at 7 pm. We can meet beforehand for a coffee across the street or at the foyer of the theatre. See you there! Marina Best regards, Marina

Theatre. Meetup time: 6:40pm. The play starts at 7pm. Tickets will sell out soon so please buy your ticket in advance ASAP. Meeting place is the ground floor. https://www.thelir.ie/events/gradfest26-penelope Penelope By Enda Walsh Synopsis: At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, Penelope’s four remaining suitors eke out a ridiculous existence. While her husband is away fighting the Trojans, her home has become the stage for a pathetic contest of manhood, with each suitor vainly attempting to win her favour through increasingly deranged displays of devotion. With Penelope’s husband fast approaching, the suitors devise a plan for how they might escape their fates and find meaning in the bizarre lives they’ve chosen for themselves. Enda Walsh delivers tragedy and comedy in equal measure in this modern reimagining of the classical myth. Running time approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes without an interval.

[https://www.thelir.ie/events/gradfest26-the-moors](https://www.thelir.ie/events/gradfest26-the-moors) On the eerie, savage moors live two sisters. While the eldest commands the household, the youngest spends her days writing in a diary or minding their dog - a great big mastiff filled with poetic longing. The sudden arrival of a governess and a moorhen disrupts their world and pushes them all to the edge of violence. In this darkly comic play, Jen Silverman riffs wildly on the lives and works of certain 19th-century author-sisters, offering a queer perspective on love, repression, and human desire. Running time approximately 1 hour 40 mins.

Do you **understand French** but **struggle to speak naturally** when it’s time to respond? Or maybe you **already speak French**, but don’t have **anyone to practise with** and want to **keep your French alive** ? Join a relaxed **French conversation group** where we use **real news stories** as a way to practise **speaking French** in a natural and structured way. This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you **practise speaking** through real-life content. **\#\# 📰 THIS SESSION’S TOPIC : A REAL NEWS STORY** In this session, we will work with a short French news extract about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. **\#\# 🎥 BEFORE THE SESSION** Before the meetup, you will watch a short French news video about **Fake police officers in Marseille**. This video will give you the key vocabulary and context so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session. You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas. **\#\# 💬 DURING THE MEETUP** We will use the news story as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice. You will be guided through conversation questions to help you : * describe what happened in the story * to identify / describe someone involved in the story * situate events in time and space * to express a hypothesis. You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence. **\#\# 🗣️ ACTIVITY FORMAT** The session will include : * group discussion based on the video * guided speaking questions * interactive conversation practice * a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario **\#\# 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE** By the end of the session, you will have practised how to : * speak more spontaneously in French * understand and react to real French content * build confidence when expressing ideas * move from “I understand” to “I can respond” **\#\# 🌿 ATMOSPHERE** This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection. **\#\# 👥LEVEL** Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences). \#\# ⭐ Free event – feedback appreciated This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups. At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions. \#\# 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions

⚠️ WEATHER DEPENDANT: we might cancel depending on the weather forecast. Please check the event 90 minutes in advance, for updates. During poetry games we will move a bit, write together and for each other, draw, swap stories, and get our hands messy too! It's informal, a little silly, and as much about connecting with the people around you as it is about the writing itself. No poetry background needed - just curiosity and a willingness to share a little about yourself. **What to bring:** Something small related to a memory or a story from your life - a photo, an object, a postcard, a quote etc. It can also be just an object that really inspires you. **PRICE**: 3€ to cover costs (Revolut/Cash/Paypal). Please pay the fee after the event. **LOCATION:** TBD **NOTE**: For some exercises we will sit on the ground, so please bring a picnic mat or something to sit on. **Keep in touch with us:** [https://activesocialconnections.com](https://activesocialconnections.com/)

The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
