Idea Development Clinics with PJ Kirby | 8 February
Thursday 8 February, Dublin Fringe Festival Offices | Online
Artist PJ Kirby will run clinics with potential Dublin Fringe Festival 2024 applicants relating to their big ideas.
Dublin Fringe Festival celebrates artists making their ideal version of a show and the purpose of the clinics is to support you in how to share those ambitions clearly. In these one-on-ones PJ will give you the tools to effectively communicate what your show is about in a snappy, digestible way. He’ll also be working with you on how to showcase your artist portfolio, with the use of Squarespace, sponsor of FRINGE LAB 2024.
PJ Kirby is a queer multidisciplinary creative from Cork City. His solo show Cliché has performed internationally to rave reviews and he acted as a Dublin Fringe Festival judge in 2022. As a professional dancer PJ has worked with the likes of Calvin Harris, Anne-Marie, David Guetta, Stormzy, Rag’n’Bone Man and Camelphat. He's also choreographed for both established and upcoming artists such as Wolf Alice, Level 3 and Blinkie. As a presenter he co-hosts I’m Grand Mam, a podcast which has dominated the comedy charts in Ireland since its inception. The I'm Grand Mam duo have also co-wrote sold out live shows which toured across the UK and Ireland.

We have a year-round open door policy to discuss your ideas. The Artistic team will be running application clinics on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons - you can sign up to meet with Festival Director David Francis Moore in person or on zoom and can sign up to meet Artistic Projects Manager Bee Sparks here or Artistic & FRINGE LAB Assistant Niamh here (you can select in person or remote when booking). We have a lot of requests for meetings so please make sure to be in touch with us sooner rather than later. The closer we get to the application deadline, the less available time we have so get in touch asap.
