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. Reviving dance as ritual within contemporary life feels especially vital at this time - an anchor, a return, 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, Light Moves, Galway Dance, and the Clare and Limerick Arts Offices.

Upcoming Residencies:

Dance Limerick - Artist in Residency 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.
