Merrion Square, Dublin 2. An Chomhairle Ealaíon An Chomhairle Ealaíon was set up by the Arts Acts 1951 and 1973 and consists of a chairman and not more than sixteen other members appointed by the Taoiseach. The present Council was appointed on 31st December 1973 and its term of office expires in 1978. The principal role of the Council is to stimulate public interest in the arts; to promote the knowledge, appreciation and practice of the arts; and to assist in improving the standards of the arts. The Council also acts as an adviser on artistic matters to the Government and Government Departments and is one of the four bodies which have a statutory duty to make representations to local authorities in connection with applications for planning permission in areas of special amenity throughout the country. The Council receives an annual grant-in-aid from the Oireachtas. In the Arts Acts, the expression 'the arts' means painting, sculpture, architecture, music, drama, cinema, literature, design in industry, and the fine arts and applied arts generally. Chairman's Introduction 1975 was an extremely significant year for the Arts Council. It saw the appointment of a full-time Director, Colm Ó Briain, in accordance with the 1973 Arts Act. This was followed later by the appointment of a Visual Arts Officer, Literature7Film Officer and a Music Officer. These developments meant that at the end of the year the Council was in a better position to discharge its existing responsibilities and to take on increased responsibilities. The year also provided firm evidence of the Government's desire to see the Council play a fuller role in the national development of all the arts. On 19th December the Minister for Finance announced that he was transferring responsibility for the Abbey Theatre, the Gate Theatre, the Irish Theatre Company, the Irish Ballet Company and the Dublin Theatre Festival to the Council from his Department. The Council welcomes this transfer of responsibility and pledges itself to serve the best interests of its associates. The coming year will see the development of closer and more valuable links between the Council and all the bodies who are involved in the arts in Ireland. The spirit that will pervade these closer associations will be one of co-operation, consultation and collaboration, on the understanding that we are all using scarce resources to achieve the same end. It is worth emphasising at this juncture that the Council is very conscious of the immense contribution made by voluntary organisations in ensuring the survival and development of many art forms and it will do everything possible to ensure that such organisations continue to thrive in the future. Broadly speaking, our responsibilities are twofold. We have an obligation to our artists to ensure that proper facilities exist for training, exhibition and performance; and we have an obligation to the public, both children and adults, to ensure that they are provided with a wider and deeper appreciation of the arts. Furthermore, we have an obligation to both artists and public to see that adequate facilities exist, especially at regional level, to enable all to participate meaningfully in arts activities. Although we had a welcome increase in our state grant for 1975 from £113,000 to £200,000 we are still operating from a very tiny base. We have had to turn down many worthy applications for assistance, and in the current economic situation it is difficult to see how we can play a significant role, especially in stimulating regional development - unless there is a considerable shift in public opinion towards the arts. Such a shift would have to be accompanied by a preparedness to pay both at central level through taxation and at local level by earmarking a portion of the rates revenue. We are confident that the benefits resulting from such a move would be in the interests, not only of this generation, but of future generations as well. During the year the Council lost its Chairman, Professor Geoffrey Hand, to the European University in Florence. His keen mind and generous outlook is a real loss. but he will be remembered for guiding the present Council from its inception in 1973 to its high level of motivation in 1975. The year also saw the departure of our colleague, John B. Keane. During his all too short period with us he left a profound impression on his colleagues and he will be genuinely missed. We thank both Geoffrey and John B. and wish them well. The saddest event for the Council in 1975 was the death of our colleague, Séamus Murphy. No brief reference in an annual report could hope to do justice to the memory of one of Ireland's greatest sculptors. We were grateful that he could be with us for a short while in person - we know that his memory and his achievements will be with us forever. The two vacancies on the Council were filled by the Taoiseach's appointment of J.B. Kearney and Hugh Maguire and we are already richer for their presence. I, myself, had the privilege of succeeding Professor Hand as Chairman. I should like to thank every member of the Council for their voluntary, generous and diligent efforts on behalf of the arts in Ireland. I should also like to thank the Director, and the young team that now constitute the Council's staff, for their responsible and dedicated work. A special word of thanks to the Taoiseach, Mr Liam Cosgrave T.D., whose interest in our affairs is a source of constant encouragement. I should also like to thank the Secretary of his Department, Mr Don O' Sullivan, and Mr Richard Stokes, Principal Officer, Department of the Taoiseach and member of the Council, for his invaluable advice and assistance in our endeavours. Patrick J. Rock Report The new policies of the Arts Council began to take shape during the year. After the Director took up office at the beginning of March, the Council made an examination of the staffing arrangements and drew up a comprehensive development plan for an increase in its staff to service various specialised areas in the coming years. It was decided to create three posts initially. Appointments were mode in December. The new Officers are David Collins who joined the Council as Literature/Film Officer from the National Library where he was Assistant Keeper; Dinah Molloy, an accomplished musician and compiler of the very successful reference book "Find Your Music", who became Music Officer; and Paula McCarthy, a graduate in the history of art working at the Wexford Arts Centre, who took up the position of Visual Arts Officer. In April, Mervyn Wall retired. He had served the Council as Secretary for eighteen years. A tribute was paid by Seán Ó Faolain to the unique contribution Mervyn Wall had made during those years to the development of the arts in Ireland, at a special presentation by Council Members post and present, with whom he had worked. The Council wishes him well in his retirement and hopes to see in his future novels continued evidence of his compassion, wit and intelligence. The Council's Exhibitions Officer, Oliver Dowling, resigned during the Summer in order to set up a private gallery. The Council wishes him every success in his new venture and is happy to know that his knowledge and expertise can be availed of by the Council in the future. While all these changes were taking place, the research for a Report commissioned jointly by the Council and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation was being completed. Millicent Bowerman had concluded her investigations throughout the country and Sir James Richards had begun to write the Report. which was published in January 1976. Since it refers by and large to artistic activities that were taking place in 1975, it is proper to consider it here. The comprehensive information and the large number of recommendations it contains provide an important basis for the Council to prepare plans for growth and development, and for that reason it is presented formally to the Government as an appendix to this Report. Although the Report was prepared for the Council and the Gulbenkian Foundation it should be stressed that the research was completely independent of both bodies. Sir James Richards is Editorial Director of "European Heritage" and a Member of the Fine Arts Committee of the Institute of Contemporary Art. He was editor of "The Architectural Review from 1937 to 1971. Millicent Bowerman was formerly Deputy-Director of the Greater London Arts Association. The Council owes a deep debt of gratitude to Sir James for his work on the Report and particularly to Millicent Bowerman who combined her role of investigator with that of an ambassador of goodwill on behalf of the Council.

All We Say is ‘Life is Crazy’: – Central and Eastern Europe and the Irish Stage Patrick Lonergan If you had visited the Abbey Theatre during 2007, you might have seen a card displayed prominently in its foyer. ‘Join Us,’ it says, its purpose being to convince visitors to become Members of the Abbey – to donate money to the theatre and, in return, to get free tickets for productions, to have their names listed in show programmes, and to gain access to special events. The choice of image to attract potential donors is easy to understand (Figure 1). The woman, we see, has reached into a chandelier to retrieve a letter, and we can tell from her expression that the discovery she’s made has both surprised and delighted her. Why is she so happy? What does the letter say? And who is that strange man, barely visible, holding her up at such an unusual angle? As well as being eye-catching, the image is also an interesting analogue for the experience of watching great drama.

Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre Candidate: Patricia O’Beirne Supervisor: Dr. Ian Walsh School: School of Humanities Discipline: Drama and Theatre Studies Institution: National University of Ireland, Galway Submission Date: August 2018 Summary of Contents: Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre This thesis offers new perspectives and knowledge to the discipline of Irish theatre studies and historiography and addresses an overlooked period of Irish theatre. It aims to investigate playwriting and theatre-making in the Republic of Ireland during the 1980s. Theatre’s response to failures of the Irish state, to the civil war in Northern Ireland, and to feminist and working-class concerns are explored in this thesis; it is as much an exploration of the 1980s as it is of plays and playwrights during the decade. As identified by a literature review, scholarly and critical attention during the 1980s was drawn towards Northern Ireland where playwrights were engaging directly with the conflict in Northern Ireland. This means that proportionally the work of many playwrights in the Republic remains unexamined and unpublished.

  • Interchapter Ii: 1940–1969
    INTERCHAPTER II: 1940–1969 Melissa Sihra Lady Augusta Gregory died in 1932 and from that period the Abbey Theatre consisted of an all-male directorate – Yeats, Kevin O’Higgins, Ernest Blythe, Brinsley MacNamara, Lennox Robinson and Walter Starkie. Blythe, an Irish-language revivalist and politician, would now remain on the inside of the Abbey for many years to come. Issues of artistic policy remained primarily within Yeats’s domain, but with his death in 1939 the position of power was open and Blythe took over as Managing Director in 1941, remaining in that post until 1967. Earnán de Blaghd, as he preferred to be known, espoused a conser- vative ethos and the board as a whole was highly restrictive artist- ically. While the work of a significant number of women dramat- ists was produced during these decades (see Appendix pp. 223–4), this period in the Abbey’s history is associated predominantly ‘with kitchen farce, unspeakably bad Gaelic pantomimes, compulsory Irish and insensitive bureaucracy’.1 The move from the 1930s into the 1940s saw the consolidation of Éamon De Valera’s Fianna Fáil administra- tion. Bunreacht na hÉireann (The Irish Constitution) was established in 1937, the same year that Samuel Beckett moved to Paris. During this time women activists sought political representation and equal rights as citizens of the Irish Free State, particularly with regard to the 1932 marriage bar. In 1938 Hannah Sheehy-Skeffington, a prolific feminist campaigner and member of the Women’s Graduates’ Associ- ation, argued that the constitution was based on ‘a fascist model, in which women would be relegated to permanent inferiority, their avoca- tions and choice of callings limited because of an implied invalidism as the weaker sex’.2 A fully independent Republic of Ireland came into being in 1949, in a decade that was framed by De Valera’s patriotic speech: ‘The Ireland that we dreamed of’.

The Stanislavski studio was so named as the type of training that Deirdre wanted to bring to Ireland. It was based on the theatrical theoh and techniques of the Russian Theatre practitioner, actor and director Konstantin Stanislavski (1863-1938), founder and theatre administrator ofthe Moscow Art Theatre and creator ofthe Stanislavski system of actor training, 'the most influential system of acting in the Western World'.2 The Stanislavski approach is a system of training, not a specific style of acting, that aims to provide the skills necessary for the actor to develop the inner life; the emotional and sensory life of the character.

May 1993. Abstract This thesis attempts to outline the practical relationship between Irish playwrights and the Abbey Theatre, from the early work of the Irish Literary Theatre in 1899, until the present day. It argues that the Abbey's reputation for being a writer's theatre tends to be contradicted by its distant association with Irish playwrights during the greater part of its history. Only during the early 1980swas there an active attempt to integrate the playwright within the company, creating a vibrant and active community for the development of new writing. Up until the 1980s the Abbey subscribedto the establishedtwentieth- century view that the playwright was a literary writer, outside the creative centre of theatre.

His intention was to fill an educational and cultural need unrecognized by commercial publishers. Hogan believed that large numbers of excellent playscripts, written by distinguished authors, were unavailable to the public, small theaters, and classrooms, because they were not commercially attractive to large publishing firms. Hogan, whose areas of scholarly expertise include modern drama and Irish literature, also wished to make the work of Irish literary figures available to both students and audiences in the United States. Although Proscenium Press began publishing in 1965, the Press was not incorporated until 1977, when incorporation became a necessary development in seeking tax exempt status as a nonprofit organization. Proscenium Press was incorporated in the State of Delaware, where Hogan had joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 1970.
