I’m an Irish dance artist and movement facilitator based in the West of Ireland.My work moves between live performance, film, and community dance rituals. I’m drawn to movement as a way of listening and remembering, a form that can communicate what might live beneath verbal language. Ensuring dance is an accesible ritual within contemporary life feels especially vital at this time - as an anchor and a shared act of presence. My creative work continues to evolve through residencies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and shared practice, with support from Arts Council Ireland, Dance Limerick, LightMoves Festival, Galway Dance, and Clare and Limerick city and county councils.Most recent residencies:
September & December 2025 in collaboration with Deaf Visual Artist and writer Louise Stern in partnership with Surface Area Dance Theatre.
Funded by the Dance Bursary Award, Arts Council Ireland 2024-25.
- Open Futures programme with Lightmoves Festival (Limerkck) in collaboration with Cork-based Artist Billy Kemp.
- North West Dance Residency Programme: 2-week residency at Áras Éanna, Inis Oírr (Aran Islands).
- JOYA Arte+Ecología, Andulusia, Spain. AIR with audio-visual artist Billy Kemp
