Ballet Ireland Annual Summer School 2012 - Tommy Town Mouse

Emjoy a week filled to the brim with creativity and self-expression, workshops centred in dance and a performance held onstage, fully lit and dressed and open to friends and family. Participants work and perform alongside professional dancers from Ballet Ireland, and in collaboration with them, decide how each week’s show develops. With emphasis on all the component arts that combine to make a ballet; drama, music, painting and dance, the Ballet Ireland summer school week is filled with laughter, joy and inspiration.

This year we will explore the ancient story of The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, a fable that has been doing the rounds for at least 25 centuries! A town mouse pays a visit to his country cousins and enjoys the clean air and simple food and, of course, all the country dancing. He misses, however, the sophistication of the city and invites the cousins to stay with him there. They too can sample the delicacies at the dinner table and the latest trends on the dance floor. But which will prove the better environment in which a mouse can thrive?

 

Tuesday 10 - Friday 13 or Tuesday 17 - Friday 20 July, 9.45am - 12pm daily (followed by lunch), €80 for 4 Day Course, including lunch

Junior Chef Workshops

with Margaret O’Brien

You want your kids to feel free to crack eggs, make dough, create lots of wash up while learning to cook, but not in your kitchen?
glór has just the answer this summer...They can come make a mess in OUR kitchen while they learn the skills and craft of cookery in a fun, relaxed, safe and instructive environment.

JUNIOR CHEF - Tuesday 10 - Friday 13 July (inclusive)
This series of workshops are aimed at 10 - 12 year olds who will be shown how to make simple but tasty meals. Along the way they will learn about safety in the kitchen and will make a variety of yummy food, from smoothies to pasta sauces, home made goujons and a few special treats. The classes are designed to be interactive, with an emphasis on teaching children the skills necessary to develop their love of cooking.


TEEN CHEF - Tuesday 17 - Friday 20 July  (inclusive)
OK so they already know a bit about cooking - they possibly fancy themselves as young Jamie's or Rachel's and they already love experimenting with food, (or they would like to experiment with food). If so, these classes are ideal to help them take that step-up to allow them present accomplished meals including some simple but tasty starters, main courses that pack a punch and some knock out desserts, all of which are easy to accomplish (once they get the hang of being organised in the kitchen!)

Monday 23 – Friday 27 July, 10am - 2pm, €100
