With four diverse programmes carrying four distinct voices, ignite05 opens up accessible pathways for the intersection of youth, culture, creativity and enquiry.
"Building on previous ignite festivals, the 2005 programme enters fresh terrain by exploring the field of new technologies. Internet art, electronica and cross-genre digital works are exciting additions to our dynamic programme," says The Edge €š Community Arts Development Manager Sally Markham.
"Central to ignite has always been the drive to create interactive and inclusive experiences for young people, building on stronger and healthier communities. This year's festival is set to challenge, inspire, excite and amaze them in other areas too - theatre, dance, film, hip hop and Djing all return to our festival," adds Ms Markham.
