Rhythm & Ribbons

Rhythm & Ribbons, the Art of Movement and Rhythmic Gymnastics is a short film created by children in Dublin 8 and artist Karen Aguiar.

In May and June 2023, Karen worked with 10 children aged 7 - 12 through a series of workshops at Richmond Barracks, as part of our Creative Residency in Art & Sport.

Each week the children learned basic gymnastics moves, developing their skills as the project progressed. They also made their own rhythmic gymnastics ribbons, an important piece of equipment in the sport.

Together they worked with filmmaker Simon Fitzpatrick of KILIG Productions and musician Ryan McCann to create a short film.

Join us for the premiere of the film in this fun-packed family event on Tuesday 5 September. Games, popcorn and light refreshments will be provided! Children and grown ups of all ages are welcome. 

Please RSVP to comms@richmondbarracks.ie if you'd like to attend.

Rhythm & Ribbons is part of our Creative Residency in Art and Sport, a Creative Residency made by Dublin City Council Culture Company in partnership with the Dublin City Sport & Wellbeing Partnership. 

Thanks to Pati Guimarãe who took photos of the workshops.
