I am an artist from and living again in Dublin 8, Ireland, miraculously. I make work to investigate the sociopolitical landscape, with particular focus on class, acknowledging the visceral reality of trauma/oppression while focused towards healing/equity. Having previously worked through theatre, I now work mostly with new text, fusing sociological tools, and walking, within my arts practice. My underlying assumption is that we are beings of infinite potential, each, every. I attempt to balance I Am free/I Am responsible continuously moving from the conceptual principle towards sustainable practice. I don’t always manage to hold that liminal ideological space, it’s an ongoing practice to try, starting with my own repairations, towards manifesting an equitable society. We are not there yet. That’s usually my initial motivation to create work, to artistically interrogate and trace root causes, the wounds across time carved on the body politic. I hold a B.A. (Hons.) in Drama & Theatre Studies with Sociology from Trinity College Dublin and an M.A. in Text & Performance Studies from RADA & King's College London. Facilitation, Action and LOVE remain crucial to my practice.
