'Making Waves' at Riverbank, for children with special needs

A dance theatre performance designed especially for children with mild or more complex needs will be coming to the Riverbank Arts Centre on Saturday next 11 March, writes Brian Byrne.

There will be two performances of Making Waves, at 12.30pm and 2pm, and the show by Jess Rowell, in association with Draíocht, is designed specifically for children aged 8-13 years with special needs.

The ambience is highly interactive, on the theme of the performers setting sail to find hidden treasure. Audience members are seated in family pods on stage, representing boats and each can accommodate six people.

Making Waves is funded by The Arts Council with support by Draíocht, Blanchardstown, Axis Ballymun, Riverbank Arts Centre & Mermaid Arts Centre, with additional support from Kildare County Council Arts Service. Jess Rowell is supported by Branar Meitheal 2022-2023.

Tickets are €8 and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm. Tickets for this event are only available via the Box Office.
