New artist partnership

We are delighted to announce that we have started working with a new artist- Ben Lucent. Ben is based in Ballymote, very nearby, and was awarded one of the Hawk’s Well Time at the Well bursaries in 2024 to develop his new piece for children with autism, Teddy Play.

Ben and Heather’s first meeting to discuss the piece turned into a long, rambling walk where many commonalities in terms of approach and artistic values were discovered, and Ben was offered a €1000 artist bursary from Rose Producing to support further development of the piece.

After seeing an early sharing of Teddy Play at the Hawk’s Well in September, Heather offered to come on board as creative producer. We are now working towards 3 further sharing of the piece in Feb 2025- two in schools for special classes, and two at the Hawk’s Well on Sunday 9 Feburary. We are excited to see where the show and this new partnership will take us.

Rose Producing is a producer-led artist collective making work for young people.

We believe in putting people first.

This year we have big plans. To produce a tour of ‘Museum of Believing’ to small rural schools in Sligo and Roscommon, to present a summer-long programme of Irish-language audio installations and workshops in Wexford libraries, and develop Teddy Play by Ben Lucent and Othello by Sinéad O’Donnell-Carey and Ophelia McCabe. Alongside this will be Empowering the Artist, our artist development programme of 8 monthly Zoom workshops, in-person events, and an in-depth training course on self-producing.

What we’re up to this year…

An excellent track record in creating ambitious and innovative works for young audiences.
