About our Dance, Move, Draw project
In the lead up to Cruinniú na nÓg, we facilitated workshops in schools around the county.  These workshops document dance and movement through drawing, painting and mark making. Participants explored different ways to move their bodies, taking turns to draw and dance. They explored how their bodies move and how they can replicate that movement in large-scale group drawings, and also smaller personal drawings and paintings.  On 7th June for Cruinniú na nÓg, there will be a video showcase and a final workshop which will be open to all.

Did you know that Saint Brendan was born in Fenit, County Kerry more than 1500 years ago? He founded many monasteries in Ireland but he is most famous for his legendary voyage across the Atlantic. His travel adventures were written down in monasteries all over Europe and soon became a major medieval bestseller. Brendan’s tales of meeting mermaids, dragons and seamonsters are still well-known worldwide. To mark the feastday of Kerry’s seafaring patron saint on 16 May, children will be creating art inspired by some of the awesome creatures Brendan met on his travels. Children can either take their creations home or they can go on display in our pop-up exhibition.

The workshops are drop-in, open from 11am until 3:30pm (not timetabled). Children go for free as part of as part of KCM’s family offer and adults pay museum admission fee (€5) at the door. No pre-booking required.
