For kids of all ages there will be the Back In The Groove workshops which will take place across five schools.
Droichead along with KadaKaBoom Art’s Kieran Gallagher will facilitate a serious of online and live classes to schools. Teachers will work with their students and rehearse, and classes will take to their individual socially distance school yards where their body groove piece will be performed.
Each individual school’s event will be filmed, edited together to create one GIANT GROOVE, which will be launched online on 22 October across all our social Media channels.

From the 2 October, in line with government guidelines, Droichead is slowly easing restrictions and increasing capacity in a safe and considered way.
To do this Droichead will still operate in pods of 1’s, 2’s, 3’s & 4’s, keeping at least two seats around your pod free.
Seating for the moment will be unallocated, and we will notify patrons of their seats in advance.
In order to keep everyone safe adults and over 12s will be required to wear a mask at all times.
