Exhibition: finding the most forgiving element by Helen Hughes

Butler Gallery Evans Home, John's Quay,, Kilkenny

Butler Gallery is very pleased to present finding the most forgiving element, a new body of work by Helen Hughes that includes sculptures, print works and two short films.

Making and materiality are foundational in my predominately sculptural practice which takes influence from mass produced commodities and the fetishistic surfaces of retail. Honing and developing my own improvised, markedly physical processes, and utilising materials that are wilful and difficult to control (e.g. balloons and fast-cast resins) my practice is rooted in the body and its way of understanding. My intention counters increasingly virtual ways of navigating the world and a growing remove from materiality.

Sister Act

Sister Act – Kilkenny College

Watergate Theatre Parliament St, Gardens,, Kilkenny

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. The cast is chock full of amazing roles for women of all ages, making this a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
