“Polish Theatre Ireland is a very welcomed addition to the Irish theatre scene. (…) They are a pleasure to be around and they offer a way of expanding audiences, providing a range of new works and provide a fertile source of new possibilities for Irish theatre makers”

Gavin Kostick, Fishamble: The New Play Company, about Polish Theatre Ireland

Polish Theatre Ireland is once again bringing contemporary Polish writing to the Irish stage. The play Delta Phase, which is now a very popular text among Polish theatre directors, has been specially translated into English and will be theatrically examined by two Irish directors and performed by both Polish and Irish actors. It is planned to be held in an exciting venue of Theatre Upstairs at Lanigan’s Bar which currently brings an interesting range of new Irish writing to the audiences of Dublin and – by staging Delta Phase – gives Polish Theatre Ireland another opportunity to add their own Polish-Irish voice to the Irish repertoire.

Delta Phase tells a tragicomic story of three boys who – while living life on the edge – trigger a series of tragic consequences that change those same lives forever.  Powered by alcohol and drugs – the three seek to reach a drug-fuelled synergy that they call Delta Phase. Their lack of goal and sense in life lead them to be against, to resist and to destroy, without any particular reason but for fun and the simple joy of doing it.“A Polish play in English set in Ireland? It’s not a problem. Everybody will recognise the characters of Delta Phase. There’s plenty of darkness and confusion in the text which will be exciting to play with. The audience will be taken into a different theatrical world of laughs and shocks and I am really delighted to be working again with Polish theatre in Dublin.” – says John Currivan, Codirector of the play.

The play will be staged in English for the first time and the author Radosław Paczocha is going to pay Dublin a visit to review his text in a new linguistic and theatrical dimension. On this occasion  Polish Theatre Ireland is holding an open Q&A discussion with the writer after the show on the 24th November 2012, which will be held by Gavin Kostick of Fishamble Theatre. The production of Delta Phase is proudly supported by Polish Embassy in Dublin and Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Warsaw.

The Leadership Training Project

The Leadership Training Project is being co-organised by Forum Polonia in Ireland, the School of Leaders’ Association in Poland as part of their “School for Leaders for the Polish Community Abroad” programme, and the Polish Embassy in Dublin.

The aim of the programme is to further strengthen the position and role of the Polish community in Ireland. Furthermore, the programme aims to support the integration and participation of the Polish community in public and social life in Ireland.
It is designed for young leaders who are active in their local communities and who work, professionally or on a voluntary basis, for the Polish community in support of its integration in Irish society.
The programme will be based on a proven formula of supporting community leaders, which has been developed by the School of Leaders’ Association. This will be appropriately adapted to suit the situation in Ireland.
The four-day intensive programme, which will take place from 18-21 October in Dublin, will include study visits, seminars and workshops. Participants will have the opportunity to present their projects and initiatives to government institutions. They will also draw inspiration from each other’s work and previous experience, they will be given practical advice, and they
will have the chance to develop their skills in order to more efficiently work with teams, on projects, and in cooperation with Irish institutions. Last but not least, they will also learn how to effectively work with the media.
