What the project is and our reasoning behind undertaking the project
The project was initially about creating a disco for adults with intellectual disabilities in Ballina and surrounding areas but has since turned into so much more.
The project is about creating a safe space for adults to socialize, dance, sing and play music with friends from their own groups and other people in thier community, while also affording them artistic input to the discos décor and music through arts and DJing workshops. We have provided several different creative based workshops withen the Arts to allow people in this community an opportunity to persue passions and interests while actively engaging with the greater community.
The realization of the need for this disco and workshops came from discovering That’s Life, an award-winning arts and personal development program of the Brothers of Charity Services, Galway. They have created a service for people with an intellectual disability to have opportunities to discover and realize their full artistic potential through working with established artists and participating in high quality programs.
