I am a director and sound designer based in Dublin.
I am interested in the overlaps between theatre, music, sound, and participation. I am excited by work which interrogates, disrupts and makes new use of sound technologies and music cultures, and I am always looking for new ways to include communities as part of and alongside the work that I do. I am passionate about: creating spectacles, using emerging technologies in live performance, creating large works of ambition and scale, blending musical and theatrical forms and disciplines, and developing innovative sound design and composition for theatre.
As a young artist, I have been working in the fields of participation and community engagement in my community in Tallaght since 2016, and I aim to bring the practices that were taught to me in these spaces into all of my work, as an individual practitioner and as part of a number of dynamic collectives.
My recent work includes The King of All Birds at Dublin Fringe 2023, as well as the development of new contemporary opera Supermoon, which was granted the Centre Culturel Irlandais/Dublin Fringe Romilly Walton Masters Award. I have recently directed CN Smith’s Spear (2022), a Dublin Fringe Commission, and worked as scene director for Tallaght Community Arts’ As If By Chance (2022) and director for Dublin Youth Theatre’s Debut One Act Festival 2023. I hold a BA (First Class Honours) in Drama Studies and Music, with a specialism in advanced devising.
I am a core artist with Freshly Ground Theatre. Freshly Ground was founded in 2014, and is currently in residence at the Civic, Tallaght. We aim to create contemporary, socially engaged work with community participation at its heart. You can find out more about Freshly Ground here.
I am also part of the core team of SoloSIRENs, a project which aims to examine structures of power and oppression, and to create new, equal and diverse structures for the creation of theatre work. Find out more about SoloSIRENs here.
