23 July 2021

Building on ten years of successful partnership, Fishamble: The New Play Company, Irish Theatre Institute and Dublin Fringe Festival are joining forces again for DUETS, an artist development scheme that supports theatre makers in the creation of their own tourable productions. This initiative is aimed at professional theatre makers from any discipline working in pairs to tell an undeniable story through the unique combination of their skillsets. DUETS provides a supportive framework in which artists can lead and create their own tour-ready show.

The 2021 DUETS artists are:
Eoghan Carrick & Lauren Shannon Jones, Rescue Annie
Orla Graham & Seon Simpson, HEAVE
Jane Madden &  Clodagh Mooney Duggan, Eleanora Salter and the Monster from the Sea

From the creators of Show in a Bag, DUETS is an artist support initiative made with the combined expertise of Irish Theatre Institute (ITI), Fishamble: The New Play Company and Dublin Fringe Festival. Championing professional artists working in pairs to tell one-of-a-kind stories using the unique combination of their skills, the DUETS are supported by the combined expertise of all three partners: dramaturgy and development support from Fishamble, networking and producing know-how from ITI and the creative platform of Dublin Fringe Festival.
