The Lighthouse Project
– Sara Baume
Writers will be commissioned to take part in a collaborative process with sound designers, visual artists and theatre-makers, to create a walk in the vicinity of a lighthouse.
The LIVE Network has created a digital series during the lockdown featuring six Irish writers. Each writer speaks to Dani Gill about their latest book over a cup of tea, coffee or a glass of wine.
Intimate and insightful, the series gives readers a chance to hear an extract from the book, get a sense of the story and meet the writer virtually, in their home.
At this critical time of restrictions, the arts have been front and centre of people’s lives.
