Price: €25

We are delighted to announce our next PAF Connects will be taking place with Dublin Dance Festival on 14 May to see Specky Clark by trailblazing choreographer, Oona Doherty!

For €25, you’ll receive a ticket to the Irish premiere of Specky Clark at the Abbey Theatre, delicious refreshments, and a drink at our pre-show networking session. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience exciting new dance, meet fellow practitioners, share ideas, and strengthen your ties within the arts community.

An unflinching blend of fiction and biography where myth and reality overlap, Specky Clark traces the journey of Oona’s great-great-grandfather’s arrival in Belfast. Nine international dancers breathe life into this powerful narrative that unfolds through a series of striking theatrical images with music from award-winning contemporary Irish folk band Lankum.

At the core of the Performing Arts Forum is our commitment to connection—building relationships, strengthening bonds, and fostering a true sense of community within the arts. Sharing the experience of live performance is a vital part of this connection.
