Who We Are
Volunteers
First Fortnight is a charity-based organisation with the
express aim of challenging mental health prejudice
through the creative arts.
We believe the arts allow us to create a space where
people can talk about mental health issues in a non-scripted
manner. Once that conversation has begun, we hope this
will then help to change people’s perceptions about an issue
that affects us all with one in four of us set to experience
a mental health problem at some point in our lives. With
that in mind, we hope to make the First Fortnight of each
year synonymous with mental health awareness, challenging
prejudice and ending stigma.
Founded in 2009, First Fortnight staged its first two-week
arts festival in 2012.
The charity has since become a mental health service
provider with the establishment in 2013 of the First Fortnight
Centre for Creative Therapies. The centre currently employs
two psychotherapists providing art-therapy for individuals
experiencing homelessness and mental ill-health in Dublin.
The First Fortnight charity is run entirely by a core group of
volunteers.
We hope you enjoy the 2015 programme of excellent music,
film, theatre, spoken word, debate and visual art events,
and that we see you in January.
At the heart of First Fortnight is a small group of people who
dedicate their spare time to making this happen. But when
it comes to the running of the festival we are going to need
a hand. If you would like to volunteer and be a part of First
Fortnight 2015 we’d love to hear from you. We need people
from all backgrounds, so please get in touch if you can help
at all. Visit www.firstfortnight.ie/volunteer for more info.

Trailblaze - Resolution
Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin 8 Jan 1, 7pm, €15
RESOLUTION is a 90-minute creative exploration of life
from people who have met adversity and challenge
with courage and compassion. We are gathering
some inspirational and passionate trailblazers from all walks
of life together to share their personal journey and shine a
light on our collective human experience of emotional and
mental wellbeing. RESOLUTION will take place with a live
audience at Christ Church Cathedral at 7pm on New Year’s
Day, 2015. This is a landmark cultural event that connects
independent Irish collective The Trailblazery {We Need to Talk
about Ireland, Rites of Passage} with First Fortnight.Featuring
inspiring TED-style talks, interspersed with music, comedy,
poetry and a large-scale choral spectacle, the RESOLUTION
project aims to re-imagine the kind of communities, society
and culture we want to participate in today in Ireland and
beyond.
Participants include:
Joan Freeman {Pieta House} | Seamus McGuinness {Artist,
Curator of Lived Lives Project} | Dylan Tighe {Theatre Maker,
Musician} | Caroline McGuigan {Suicide or Survive} | Sean

St. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin 8Jan 3, 8pm, €5
Drawing influences from Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Steve
Reich and the Flaming Lips, Irish multi-instrumentalist
and singer Kevin Nolan emerged last year with
Fredrick & the Golden Dawn, his debut album, which took
many by storm. Hot Press proclaimed that record as simply
“spell-binding” while The Last Mixed Tape called it “simply
stunning to behold”.
Now Nolan is to embark on a truly unique performance in St
Patrick’s Hospital, a place where Kevin has been a patient
and where, on the hospital piano, he wrote many of his
songs, including a duet with Choice Music Award winner
Julie Feeney. For this event Kevin will return to St Patrick’s
as a performer with many of his favorite musicians from the
Irish music scene.

The Therapy Sessions
The Workman’s Club, Wellington Quay, Dublin 2 Jan 2 & 9, 8pm, €5
A popular component of First Fortnight, the Therapy
Sessions once again brings together some of
Ireland’s brightest musicians and poets for two
unmissable Friday night shows. This year’s musical guests
include the wonderful I Have A Tribe, The Lost Brothers and
Paddy Hanna, with many more acts to be announced.
Better known to some as Patrick O’Laoghaire, I Have A
Tribe has had a busy 12 months recording his debut EP
with Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey) and Conor O’Brien of Villagers.
He has also toured Europe with Anna Calvi, opened for
Villagers’ Irish homecoming show and performed at Electric
Picnic. Expect a sublime blend of plaintive pop and folk-
tinged melancholia.
The Lost Brothers released their excellent fourth album,
New Songs Of Dawn and Dust, last year and will perform
songs from it at this year’s Therapy Sessions. The folk duo
can count Richard Hawley, Brendan Benson, Old Crow
Medicine Show and members of The Coral among their
many admirers. Come down and see just why.
A restless artist and then some, Paddy Hanna is deservedly
well regarded as one of the most prolific musicians in Dublin
and beyond. When he’s not busy singing in Grand Pocket
Orchestra or playing in Popical Island bands No Monster
Club, Ginnels and Skelocrats, he’s writing, recording and
www.firstfortnight.ie @firstfortnight #FFfest15
Everyone has that
song; that tune that
gets you up when
you’re feeling down or that
track that captures exactly
how you’re feeling right
now. Music connects. First
Fortnight is set to explore that connectivity with a unique
event in St Stephen’s Green. Take two people, two playlists
and a pair of headphone splitters. As they walk together
around the Green this randomly paired couple will share a
moving musical experience of the songs that resonate with
each of them. This is an exercise in breaking down barriers,
experiencing indirectly shared emotions, movement and,
most of all, music. So come blow away those New Year
cobwebs by bringing an inquisitive mind, some comfortable
shoes, and the songs that get you through.
See www.firstfortnight.ie for details on exact meeting point.

last year to great acclaim both at home and abroad.
First Fortnight’s spoken word supremo Stephen James
Smith is once again behind this year’s poetry line-up, which
is as eclectic and varied as ever. On the bill are Dublin-
based solo hip-hop artist Ophelia MC, multi-award winning
Galway poet Stephen Murray, humorous Kerryman Sean
Lyons, Genevieve Healy, poet and blogger Alvy Carragher
and Andy Craven Griffiths.

Foxgloves lean but don’t fall for most of their decline and
their bell-blossoms do not ring out when they drop.
A deeply personal work exploring migrant suicide, I
Have To Say I Have To Say stemmed from the death
of the artist’s former housemate, a Polish woman
living in Ireland. Told through video, drawing, installation and
performance, the work looks at the connections between
two countries, Poland and Ireland, against Ireland’s recent
history of boom-time immigration. First Fortnight will mark the
starting point of an ongoing work by Ciara McKeon. Here’s
where it begins.
“T.S. Eliot writes ‘humankind cannot bear very much reality’
Ciara in her engulfing performance helps us to do just that.
Her performance pared back to the essence accompanies
us to a deeper, darker space.” - Anna Mortimer, from her
text on McKeon’s work Going Without at SPILL Festival

“Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our
hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants willing to be
dethroned.” James Joyce
Taking mental health conversations out of the shadows
and opening up the issue for discussion in our local
communities may not always be easy, but it does
help. With this in mind, First Fortnight set about engaging
community groups by helping to create stunning works of
art in towns across Ireland. Using street art, which was
once dismissed as vandalism and pushed to the margins
of society, we’ve set about asking; can this collaborative
approach to art-making have a positive effect on our
communities and society as a whole?
With ADW’s Rainbows Over Your Blues in situ at Portlaoise
Leisure Centre and art work popping up in Letterkenny,
Limerick city, Belfast, Rosconnell, Co. Kildare, Castlebar
and Dublin city, artist Aidan Kelly has documented First
Fortnight’s National Street Art Trail in a stunning film set to be
screened during the festival and featuring artists Friz, ADW,

month, Slam Sunday brings some of the city’s finest
poets to Accents Coffee and Tea Lounge on the last night
of the weekend. Open to all to take part, 12 contestants
and 5 judges are drawn at random from the audience for
a lively competition that sees poems recited from memory.

Beatles, With a Little Help from My Friends, with the night
open to anyone who has a tale to tell, or wants to hear
a tale told well. Stephen James Smith, acclaimed spoken
word artist, will be the night’s featured storyteller. So come
and join us in a relaxed, friendly environment with tea, bean
bags, cookies and some new friends waiting to welcome
you. Be prepared to clap a lot!

Mnemosyne Lay in Dust
St. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin 8Jan 7, 7pm, €5
First published in 1966, Austin Clarke’s Mnemosyne Lay
in Dust is an intensely personal and haunting narrative
poem about memory, detailing the fictional Maurice
Devane’s “nervous breakdown” and subsequent recovery.
The work is based strongly on Clarke’s own experiences as
a patient in St. Patrick’s from March 1919-1920.
In reading Clarke’s great poem in St. Patrick’s, the poem is,
in a sense, brought back to its roots. The poem will be read
by Peter Sirr, one of the leading Irish poets of his generation,
and a number of guests. The reading will be introduced
by way of Stephen Bean’s short film Mnemosyne Lay in
Dust: Memories of Austin Clarke and concluded with a post-
reading discussion.

Frank
Nationwide Screenings & Post-Show DiscussionsSee www.firstfortnight.ie for details
Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson star in
this hilarious, offbeat comedy about a wannabe
musician, Jon (Gleeson), who escapes his boring
normal life and joins an avant-garde pop band led by Frank
(Fassbender), a mysterious musical genius who hides himself
inside a large fake head, and his terrifying bandmate Clara
(Maggie Gyllenhaal).
Critically acclaimed upon its release last May, Frank poses a
series of hard questions about mental illness. Layered within
its exploration of artistic expression, Lenny Abrahamson’s
film examines our presumptions and prejudices about mental
health issues, particularly within a creative context, to leave
us with a work that engages as much as it entertains.
First Fortnight is delighted to once again partner with See
Change who contributed greatly to the success of First
Fortnight 2012, 2013 and 2014.
See Change is Ireland’s national programme to change minds
about mental health problems. Over 90 partner organisations
and hundreds of volunteers and ambassadors from every
part of Irish society have signed up to help end the stigma
and discrimination around mental health problems.
In May 2014, See Change brought us the second annual
Green Ribbon campaign to get Ireland talking about mental

Abandoned Goods
Irish Film Institute, Dublin 2Jan 3, 2pm
Abandoned Goods is a short essay film that tells the
story of the journey of the Adamson Collection.
Recently rediscovered after years of neglect, the collection
is one of the major bodies of British ‘asylum art’. It contains
around 5,500 objects (paintings, drawings, ceramics,
sculptures and works on stone, flint and bone) created
between 1946 and 1981 by patients in Netherne psychiatric
hospital in Surrey, England.
Blending archive, reconstruction, 35mm rostrum photography,
interviews and observational footage, the film explores the
transformation of the objects in the Adamson Collection,
from clinical material to revered art objects, examining the
lives of the creators and the changing contexts in which the
objects were produced and displayed.
Narrated by an unseen cataloguer, voiced by Iain Sinclair,
who comments on key works in the Collection and provides
glimpses into the lives of their creators. The result is a moving
impression of the unseen history of postwar asylum life in
the UK.
The screening will be followed by a post-show Q&A and
panel discussion.
A film by Pia Borg & Edward Lawrenson
Heaven Adores You
Irish Film Institute, Dublin 2Jan 10, 4pm
Heaven Adores You is an intimate inquiry into the life
and music of Elliott Smith. In this documentary, we
journey through the life of Steven Paul “Elliott” Smith,
a musician whose rise to prominence in the 1990s and early
2000s was cut short by his untimely death at the age of
34 in 2003.
The film – which receives its Irish premiere as part of First
Fortnight - opens in 1998, a year in which Elliott receives
an Oscar nomination for his song Miss Misery for the film
Good Will Hunting, and his album XO receives acclaim. An
interviewer inquires about his declaration that he’d never be
a rock star. Elliott thoughtfully replies, “I’m the wrong kind of
person to be really big and famous…”
What kind of person was Elliott Smith? Since his death in
2003, many have attempted to tell the story of his creative
“sadsack” genius, often through the lens of struggle,
heartache and addiction. Director Nickolas Rossi employs
a different lens, placing music centre-stage, creating a
framework for Elliott to narrate the story of his life himself,
through the filter of recorded conversations and interviews.
The screening will be followed by a post-show Q&A and
panel discussion.

My Name Is Saoirse
Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin 2Jan 8-10, 8pm, €12
1987. Saoirse lives with her da and her brother in a
peach-coloured bungalow that has been in their family
for generations. Saoirse prefers running through the
fields to chasing after boys, but her best friend Siobhán
has other ideas and after a fateful night drinking with the
lads in Wilsons, Saoirse is forced to set out on a journey
that takes her miles away from her home and the carefree
adolescence she once knew. My Name is Saoirse is a
tender and evocative coming-of-age story from award-
winning Sunday’s Child Theatre Company, fresh from their
Edinburgh and Dublin Fringe success.
There will be a post show discussion following the opening
performance.

Poor little Ireland. Trouble has beset our misfortunate
country in many guises over the years... Vikings,
famine, colonisation, religious oppression, a litany
of sporting defeats and now a stream of manufactured
bands “showcasing” Irish talent. Our collective indignity
haunts us, ruling our thoughts and deeds. How would it be
to mend these wounds in a gentle healing ceremony with
your fellow citizens? Embrace a new way of hiberno-living.

User Not Found
Axis Ballymun, Dublin 9Jan 13, 7pm, Free
Is social media destroying us all? When people go missing
or some kind of tragedy takes place, it often plays a part
in the cause and the solution. This is what Rachel’s friends
found out when she went missing. Trying to make sense of
what has happened they attempt to piece together her last
statuses and tweets. Do we ever know how to ask for help?
User Not Found is a work in development by Stefanie
Preissner, an accomplished screenwriter, playwright and
actor, and will be performed in the festival as a reading.
Stefanie’s involvement with First Fortnight stretches back
to 2013 when her play Solpadeine is My Boyfriend was
performed at the festival to huge acclaim and sold-out
performances. This reading is an early chance to hear her
latest work.
User Not Found is presented by Arts & Disability Ireland and
Axis: Ballymun in partnership with First Fortnight.

Injuries are occupational hazards in professional sport.
Every athlete gets them and all have to get over them. But
what if this is an injury you cannot see? What if the pain is
in your head and you cannot tell anybody about it?
Professional sports stars are no more likely to suffer from
depression than any of us; they might, though, be slower
to ask for help given the pressures to perform in public and
rivals looking for an edge over them.
Led by Irish Times journalist Jim Carroll, the Banter panel
will include leading figures from the world of sport as they
explore the issue of mental health.

We Cut Corners, Booka Brass Band, I Have A Tribe & Guests
The Button Factory, Temple Bar, Dublin 2Jan 10, 8pm, €12
The first unmissable gig of the year, First Fortnight’s
annual Button Factory soiree brings together another
typically diverse bill of musical talent aimed at
challenging mental health stigma and provoking discussion
about mental health issues. We Cut Corners are no
strangers to the festival having performed in 2012 and 2013
to huge acclaim. Since then the two-piece have ratcheted
up countless more critical plaudits with the release of their
fantastic second album, Think Nothing, a record bursting
with short, snappy start-stop/ rock-pop performed on
drums and guitar. Expect a sensational headline slot. Booka
Brass Band are Ireland’s premier New Orleans style brass
band. With regular shows all over Dublin, alongside stomping
sets at Electric Picnic, Sea Sessions and Longitude, their
incredible live energy has brought them a well-deserved
level of success. The 8-piece have been known to cover
Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and Jason Derulo’s Talk Dirty. We
wouldn’t be surprised if collaboration with We Cut Corners
is also on the cards. The night will be opened by two of
Ireland’s brightest prospects in 2015, the sublime, folk-tinged
I Have A Tribe and up-and-coming band, State Lights.
For just €12 you can expect a night of sublime musical
entertainment, but this is also a bill designed to start a
conversation and hopefully send you into 2015 with the goal
of making real social change and challenging mental health
stigma.
Stories From The FrontLiberty Hall, Dublin 1
Jan 14, 7pm, €5
Stories from the Front tells the personal stories of
people who have experienced mental ill-health,
carers and mental health professionals. In a truly
inspiring collaboration the cast tell personal stories of mental
health and our mental health services. Through recorded
narrative and dramatic enactments Stories from the Front
reminds us all that even in the most challenging of times, the
gift of human kindness and understanding is perhaps the
most powerful asset any of us has. Based on the Forum
Theatre method first developed by Augusto Boal, Stories
From The Front is interactive theatre that encourages
participation by audience members in a creative journey of
hope and inspiration.
MasksSt. Patrick’s Hospital, Dublin 8
Jan 12, 7pm, €5
Masks is a play by young people, for young
people. Born out of a desire to communicate
information about mental health issues, the Youth
Empowerment Service - a service of advocacy for young
people in hospital with mental health issues - set about
using the power of theatre to both enage and entertain.
The resulting work depicts a range of mental health topics
– from schizophrenia to OCD to eating disorders – from
the perspective of a young person as the performers use
masks to emphasise that we don’t really know what goes
on behind the disguises we wear every day.
The drama will be followed by a panel discussion
on adolescent mental health services in Ireland, with
refreshments.
