Spraoi.com is a professional arts organization based in Waterford
Title
SPRAOI - WATERFORD - IRELAND
Description
Spraoi is a full-time, professional, arts organisation. The company employs four people fulltime, one person part-time, and many more on a contract basis throughout the year. These include scenic artists, performers, musicians, production and technical staff, designers, directors, choreographers and construction staff.
One of the major strengths of the company lies in its capacity to enable voluntary workers to make the magic happen. Hundreds are actively involved in Spraoi each year, from performance and construction through to stage management and crowd control. The Spraoi Festival would not be what it is today without the enthusiasm and dedication of this voluntary workforce. Their infectious energy is picked up by the national and international performers who come to the city for the festival, as well as by the audience. Together, they make Spraoi happen.
Spraoi's home, The Studios, is on a green field site at Carrickpherish, about two miles from Waterford city centre (population approx 60,000). It's a 10,000 sq ft purpose built studio, encompassing an 8,000 sq ft workshop space including costume and store rooms, a 2000 sq ft studio space, offices and a meeting area. Under the Waterford City Development Plan, Carrickpherish will undergo massive development over the next few years, with schools, a Scout Hall, houses and shops all due to be constructed; a new community in fact. Work has already begun on some of these. The Spraoi Studios will be at the heart of this new community
