A new life drawing workshop is set to begin at The Ardhowen.

The three-week-long workshop, starting on Thursday, September 19, will be conducted by classically trained animator Jim Cullen.

Mr. Cullen, who graduated from Ballyfermot College of Animation in 1999, is known for his unique life drawing classes where he serves as both the model and tutor.

The Ardhowen class will feature a partly clothed male model and is open to all levels, from newcomers to seasoned professionals.

Part of the class will be allocated to feedback, encouraging attendees to engage with fellow artists and their sketches.

The full programme of Ardhowen events is available on the website www.ardhowen.com.

The Holywood Players will return to The Ardhowen for two nights, Friday, September 20, and Saturday, September 21, at 8pm, with their production of Memory of Water by Shelagh Stephenson.

The dark comedy, which won the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, revolves around three sisters who return to their childhood home after the death of their mother.

Long-buried tensions and resentments surface, creating conflict that is by turns angry, desperate, poignant, and wildly funny.

However, the play contains several instances of very strong language.

The Singing for Health and Wellbeing Workshop with Valerie Whitworth will return on Wednesday, September 25, at 7pm.

Ms Whitworth, a Natural Voice facilitator, believes that ‘if you can speak you can sing.'

Her workshops explore different aspects of the embodied voice, aiming to help everyone reclaim and embody their voice.

The eight Wednesday evening sessions, running from September 25 to November 20 (no class on October 23), promise a good dose of fun while learning heartfelt songs and singing in harmony.

Set dancing classes will continue on Tuesday, September 24, from 7pm to 9pm.

Led by Brenda Murphy, these weekly classes are suitable for beginners, intermediate, and advanced dancers.

The classes aim to help attendees learn the art of set dance, improve physical fitness, and provide an opportunity to meet new people.
