Location: Watergate Theatre, Parliament Street, Kilkenny. R95 D320
The South East Venues Network (SEVN) invites artists from throughout the South East to join them at the first SEVN Networking Event in the Watergate Theatre Kilkenny on Tuesday 5th November from 5-7pm (approx).

This will be the first in a series of gatherings, designed to help the artistic community in the South East region become better connected.

SEVN is committed to a better future for artists in the South East. We want to strengthen our community and empower artists in the region to make a viable life in the arts a reality. We believe we have untapped collective power as a community. The SEVN network wants to harness that power to imagine a better future as the artistic community faces steeper challenges than ever with housing and cost of living crises intertwining to undermine the working and living conditions of so many in the sector.
The event schedule includes:
5pm – Welcome reception
5.30pm – Introduction and overview of the South East Venue Network (SEVN)
5.45pm – Performance by previous SEVN bursary recipient Beth McNinch.
Beth’s performance “The Suffragette Sonata” was commissioned by Libby Croad as part of the SEVN bursary.
It went on to be turned into a dance film called “Deeds Not Words” (on the Musici website!) and featured at Wicklow Screendance festival in 2023.
Followed by an insight from 2023/2024 SEVN bursary recipient Fadi Zmorrod on how the bursary impacted his work.
