Created 2009-04-22 by Siobhán Clancy
Location: Urban - Co. Dublin
Duration: 2009-04-22 to 2009-12-09
Project Outline
The Puppet Portal Project aims to address the effects of hospitalisation on children by promoting a sense of community and communication through a combined creativity and technological intervention across participating hospitals. A talented team of skilled artists will establish an active and creative hub within each hospital community, facilitating a performing arts exchange. Puppetry, storytelling and technology will be used to create interactive, contemporary puppetry performances via the hospital web portal, Ait Eile, the online community for children in hospital. www.aiteile.ie.
