The Lir Academy is Ireland’s National Academy of Dramatic Art at Trinity College Dublin. It is found at Trinity Technology and Enterprise Campus on Pearse Street at Grand Canal Quay. The venue hosts performances and offers short courses for theatre, film and more.
The Lir Academy was conceived as a cultural hub of its own with a diverse range of students pursuing a variety of courses. The focus is on nurturing the next generation of theatre, film, radio and television drama makers.
At night The Lir Academy opens its doors to the public and offers a developing programme of performances, films, play readings, talks and lectures. It is vitally important for the students to interact within their respective disciplines and also with established professionals and the wider public. The Lir Academy building offers the possibility of such interaction to take place in a convivial atmosphere.
