Travellers Together Preventing Suicide is an annual campaign organised on September 10th, World Suicide Prevention Day.

Public feeling is an artwork about health and austerity shaped by fitness choreography.
Each class (an aquafit class, a circuit class and a virtual spin class) is delivered by a qualified fitness instructor, and accompanied by a musical score and scripted soundtrack. This participatory project explores ‘feelings’ – like joy, shame, anxiety and depression – not only as individual emotions, but as shared social realities, and asks how we can occupy the everyday space of the gym or leisure centre to re-imagine and re-work these collective experiences.
RESILIENCE is a challenging aquafit class led by Eleanor Young that works with the pleasure of synchronised movement. The class is safe for non-swimmers and a wide range of abilities and fitness levels can be accommodated. RESILIENCE features newly commissioned writing by Lynn Ruane.
Eleanor Young is a sea swimmer and a soprano. She is a qualified aquafit instructor with over 20 years of teaching and coaching experience internationally, who enjoys seeing people of all ages learn and respond to challenge. She coaches the youth development squad at Terenure College Swimming Club and has a devoted following for her energetic aquafit classes.

Performance artist Eja DueIn exposes her own body and invites you, the audience, into the intimate space where sex work takes place; but also out in the public sphere where the normative truths about sex work forms certain images of what a prostitute is.
It is interactive, provoking, intimate and site specific performance art, where the opinions of the audience are challenged.
The performance can be experienced in two different versions, as a one-to-one performance and as a performance lecture as a part of a small group.
Strictly over 18.
