Exciting stuff! A new market at the Point Village opening this Saturday, and a new storytelling venture to go with it! The storytellers from the Coop (the wonderful Eleonore, Adam, Michael, Fiona &co.) and our own Paul Tubb and Daria Walsh will be performing, 2-3pm

The first meeting at the Point Village Market sees the launch of 6 x10, a narrative interactive installation, highlighting the old Irish craft of storytelling.
In Ireland we come from a long line of people who take huge pride in the craft of words, we have an inherent love of spoken word, wit and a certain turn of phrase and this installation hopes to bring all things to the Point Village Market.
However , in today’s society, we rarely seem to sit down to share our stories and tales as we once did. At its heart, storytelling happens when a tale is told person to person and is a unique human skill and one of our oldest art forms.
It is from this idea, that the ‘Chair’ was created, a giant oversized armchair, as the perfect place for people to come and tell their stories.
The ‘6 x 10’ will take place on Saturday, May 29th between 2 & 3 where 10 speakers will talk for 6 min each on a given theme. The idea is that people will have the opportunity to regale a tale (whatever that might be!) to an audience in an informal, fun environment.
The chair will then be opened up to be used by the public to share their stories or perhaps just a little bit of gossip!
The theme for the first event is the ‘last piece of the puzzle’ This is a moment in your life when everything suddenly made sense; a turning point, ‘eureka!’ moment or epiphany . No tale is too small, from the earth shattering moments to finding you father under the tree putting out your presents at Christmas, discovering that peanuts do grow on trees or just realising that odd socks really do turn into wire hangers!”
