Artist & Creative Producer / Lives and works in Cork, Ireland.
Hello!
I am a multi-disciplinary artist who enjoys playing with words and storytelling. I work across a range of mediums such as video, performance, poetry and sound. My main topics of interest are humour, language and arts accessibility. Currently, I am researching Neurodiversity and my experience with dyslexia and ADHD.
I enjoy working with young people and helping them explore new mediums and ways of expressing themselves creatively. I have worked in primary schools, community arts projects, researching and developing design for East London Metropolitan Opera's 'Bat Out of Hackney' (read more here), running workshops and rehearsals in Platform Theatre as part of my final year project, as well as working in public libraries leading art classes and story-times for children. Collaboration is an important part of my practise and I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds.
As a producer and arts worker, I have supported the creation of work in a variety of art forms, such as visual arts, circus, street arts and multiple festivals. I am particularly interested in supporting community projects, work for young people and arts experiences that encourage audiences to see the world in a different way after leaving.
