They say every cloud has a silver lining, without doubt the silver lining of 2020 for Backstage Theatre was their Activate Residency.
Activate offers theatre practitioners and artists the opportunity to start making work again, to explore and develop work or just the time and space needed to dream and play.
Throughout the Autumn, where government guidelines permitted, Backstage welcomed artists from across Ireland for a series of residencies. Artists were given access to studio with limited additional access to the main stage, technical, admin and financial support to aid with the development of work.
