2009

2009–THE START OF SOMETHING SPECIAL.

FOR OVER 10 YEARS WE’VE BEEN CONCEIVING, CURATING AND PRODUCING PROJECTS & EVENTS WITH 2 SIMPLE AIMS.

THE FIRST IS TO PROVE THAT IRISH CREATIVES ARE ON PAR WITH THE VERY BEST IN THE WORLD. AND THAT IT’S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE PROVING IT INTERNATIONALLY BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE IN EVERY CREATIVE FIELD PUSHING THE SCENE FORWARD HERE EVERY DAY.

THE SECOND WAS TO CREATE PLATFORMSTHAT CELEBRATE THESE PEOPLE TOGETHER, COLLECTIVELY, ALONGSIDE THEIR PEERSINTERNATIONALLY. THIS WE DID THROUGHDIGITAL MAGAZINES, LIVE EVENTS, SELF-INITIATED PROJECTS AND BUILDING STRONG ASSOCIATIONS WITH ORGANISATIONS HERE AND ACROSS THE GLOBE.

SO, IT ALL SEEMED PRETTY NATURAL WHEN, ON A SUMMER’S DAY IN 2009, A PUB CONVERSATION QUICKLY TURNED INTO THE DECISION TO PRODUCE A WORLD CLASS EVENT RIGHT HERE IN DUBLIN.

WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO TRAVEL ABROAD TO BE INSPIRED? WHY COULDN’T WE BRING OUR HEROES HERE, TREAT THEM WELL AND LET THEM INSPIRE ALONGSIDE OUR BRILLIANT LOCAL TALENT? WHY NOT?

WE NAMED IT THAT EVENING, ONE WEEK LATER WE LAUNCHED AND IT SOLD OUT WITH MONTHS TO GO. THE OFFSET STORY STARTED.

ORIGINALLYNAMED THE GRAND CANAL THEATRE.THEN RENAMED TO THE BORD GÁIS ENERGY THEATRE.WE CALL IT HOME.
