Ceiliúradh na Cruthaitheachta sa Seanaois
Bealtaine
Fáilte chuig Bealtaine 2009. Is í seo an ceathrú bliain déag de Bhealtaine, an fhéile náisiúnta a cheiliúrann an chruthaitheacht i ndaoine aosta – é comhordanáidithe go náisiúnta ag Age and Opportunity (áisínteacht a bunaíodh le tabhairt faoi dhearcadh diúltach i leith na seanaoise agus le cur chun cinn ról níos leithne ag seanóirí sa phobal). Is é atá mar aidhm ag Bealtaine ná cur le hionchur sheandaoine sna healaíona trí léiriú mothúcháin agus trí pháirt ghníomhach a ghlacadh. Meallann Bealtaine seandaoine le bheith ina lucht féachana/éisteachta eolasach ag foirmeacha uile na healaíne.

Celebrating creativity in older age
Bealtaine
Welcome to Bealtaine 2009. This is the fourteenth year of Bealtaine, the national festival which celebrates creativity in older age – co-ordinated nationally by Age and Opportunity (an agency set up to challenge negative attitudes to ageing and to promote greater participation by older people in society). Bealtaine aims to involve older people in the arts, through expression and active participation. It also encourages older people to engage as an experienced audience for all art forms.
The Programme
This extensive programme features Mayo County Council Arts Office working with over twenty Active Retirement Associations throughout Mayo during Bealtaine 2009. Workshops with professional facilitators will take place in numerous art forms including, dance, drama, creative writing, music and memory, samba and percussion, storytelling and visual art. The Arts Office is also working with Health Care Settings providing music and poetry recitals throughout Mayo.
In addition there will be three major projects in 2009:
Continuation of the New Ground project Screening of Michael Fortune’s film ENVISAGE – an exploration of place.Arts venues throughout the county as well as Mayo County Council Library Service will also have a variety of events on offer during Bealtaine ranging from talks to workshops to films and much more
Mayo County Council Arts Office would like to thank most sincerely all the venues, groups and individuals associated with the Bealtaine Festival 2009
