Tickets on Sale via RA - Link to tix - https://ra.co/events/1745351

As you can see we have a heavy hitting line up for this one and we’ve still more artists to announce including a V Special Guest Sunil Sharpe !

Sunil Sharpe will be hosting a vinyl workshop from 4-5pm in the main Theatre and later will be closing the event with a vinyl perfromance from 9-10pm.

We have a full day of events in Smock Alley Theatre; it's an old converted church and is one of Dublins finest venue gems. We're privileged to be given the unique chance to take over such a historically beautiful space.

All 3 spaces will be programmed for Dublin Modular attendees! A ticket allows you free travel in all spaces but be aware there are capacity limits for each perfromance space. So when the timetables are released make sure to be at your favourite artists performance space early to get in before it’s full! The magic is if one space is full; there will be something else happening in another space you can attend instead!

Learn, Listen, Talk and Walk… And of course you'll be dancing too but that just a given at this point for our events!

What to expect?

Poster Inspiration - “Area” was a themed nightclub that operated from 1983 to 1987 at 157 Hudson Street in Manhattan, New York City. It was a hot spot for celebrities and luminaries of the New York art scene. The club was known for its unusual invitations and changing themes. From its inception, the club became known for its creative invitations. 5,000 invitations were sent in capsules for the September 1983 opening. Receiving a velvet ring box in the mail. Inside, they found a single blue capsule with accompanying instructions not to consume the pill, but to dissolve it in hot water, where a cellophane invitation would float to the surface. That's HOT!
