I am a theatre artist with an MA in Directing, training with SITI Co, New York, lecturer at UCD, and tutor at the Gaiety School of Acting. Each year I lead and direct a student devised performance with 3rd years in UCD. Through my company Floating World I collaborate with professional and community artists focusing on human stories, integration with nature and innovative theatricality.
As an artist I strive to make meaning in the community and with nature. I have developed numerous successful projects in collaboration with The Elders, a group of older adults. My current work is focused on collaborating with the community and the natural world to make engaging eco-theatre through collective creation.
In the past I have worked as a dancer, actor, director and producer. A selection of projects outside of Floating World below.
