Rialto Youth Project and students from the National College of Art and Design will host The Big Draw as part of this year’s Dublin Learning Festival.  A fun workshop for all the family.  No experience needed and materials will be provided.

Your voice can be heard above the crowd.

Your stories can connect with the crowd.

Your message can inspire the crowd.

Learning how to speak from a stage is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference to people’s lives and advance an important cause.

The great leaders of history have all found the courage to speak up for what is right, even when they were nervous, insecure, and doubted themselves. You can find that courage too.

You can tell stories that have your audience on the edge of their seats, moved to tears, or bursting out laughing with equal measure.

You can express yourself in a way that feels natural and authentic to you, whilst still delivering effective speeches that hit home for your audience.

Speeches can be put together in a way that feels creative and fun and makes you want to jump back on stage again and again.

Speaking helps us to bring our vision for a better world into reality.

The feeling of being on stage, seeing your words landing, and hearing the interaction of the audience is intoxicating. It’s an intense sense of connection you will not experience anywhere else in life.

It’s a reward for all the hard work that goes into developing your speaking skills and crafting your speeches.

It’s time to Amplify Your Speeches.

At the moment it feels like no one can hear your voice.

You’re shouting from the sidelines and getting lost in the noise.

As you try harder and harder to get the result you want, you feel your confidence getting knocked with each failed attempt, or perceived failed attempt.

In all the time leading up to the speech, you stress about putting it all together. What should you say? How should you structure it? What should you put on your slides?

You feel the pressure each time you are on stage. Pressure to get it right. Pressure to remember what you are going to say. Pressure to achieve a certain outcome.

You worry about what the audience thinks of you and your speech. You might feel frozen to the spot on stage. Or you wander around it like a nervous animal in a cage.

After your speeches, you wonder how it went. Did you get the message across? Did the audience learn anything? Was it even worth bothering?

You’re looking for a Spark for your Speeches.

The Outhouse Book Club returns on Wednesday, 17 April 2024 from 6-8pm in the Outhouse Library when we take on (drumroll, please!)… Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.

Title: Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

Summary:

Fun Home is a 2006 graphic memoir by the American cartoonist Alison Bechdel. She was the author of the 1985 comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For, which introduced the Bechdel test, a set of criteria to determine gender bias in works of entertainment that is still used today.

In Fun Home, Bechdel charts her fraught relationship with her late father. Interweaving childhood memories, college life, and present day, Bechdel looks back on her complex relationship with her father through a fiercely funny and heartbreaking narrative and finds they had more in common than she ever knew.

In 2013, Fun Home was adapted into a musical, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2015. The musical played at Dublin’s Gate Theatre in 2023.
