Three months to the day since taking up the job, we met up with new Artistic Director of Project Arts Centre Cian O\u2019Brien. A producer, administrator, curator, and even performer, Cian\u2019s appointment was met with unanimous approval from the Arts community, with Peter Crawley calling it \u201cas welcome, encouraging and refreshing as it is entirely unsurprising.\u201d Here he discusses his formative years with D.U. Players, his evolution from participant to curator of Rough Magic\u2019s renowned Seeds programme, his early forays into freelance producing, plans and ambitions for his new role at Project, and his ongoing relationship with a certain Mangina Jones. It\u2019s episode 12 of the Rise Productions: Irish Theatre Podcast \u2013 Enjoy!
