Stacey Nealon

Level 8

2022

From learning this broad spectrum of subjects, all with storytelling at the core, I have found a love for literature and am furthering my studies with a Professional Masters of Education for teaching STACEY NEALON English post primary.

YAADA Year Book 2022 During my time studying Performing Arts in IT Sligo/ATU I specialised in Theatre Design. What I found most enjoyable was breaking down the script and developing a design concept based on researching the world of the play. The idea grows further by making a scaled model, learning transferable skills like AutoCAD and Sketchup to build the design. Through the realisation of some of my costume designs I have gained basic sewing skills which I plan to develop further in the future. The course explores every aspect of performing arts with subjects such as literature, directing, technical theatre, costume design, model making and creative writing and has given me a greater appreciation for what is involved in the staging of a play.
