Amplifying female voices onstage and beyond
SoloSIRENs is a theatremaking and producing collective based in Tallaght and in residence at the Civic. Its core team is director Jenny Macdonald, producer Jennifer Webster and theatre artist Martha Knight.
SoloSIRENs amplifies female-identifying voices onstage and beyond. and we work to create more just, caring and sustainable models of making and presenting theatre.
Our festivals share the work of female artists in an environment that supports collaboration and development. Our symposia hold a space to reflect upon and develop our models of practice and presentation with other artists, academics and our wider community.
We have a core intercultural, intergenerational community artists collective; a mentorship programme for facilitators from underrepresented backgrounds; and a schools programme to explore key themes in our work with children and young people.
From our base in Tallaght, we collaborate with organisations in South County Dublin and beyond including: the Abbey Theatre, Trinity College, Dublin, South Dublin Participatory Arts (TCA) and Rua Red South Dublin Arts Centre.
