What I do:

Make performances and create theatrical events; organise and facilitate participatory arts projects; practice-based PhD

A little more about me:

I'm from Ballycotton, a little fishing village on the south coast of Ireland. I did my first degree (Drama) in Manchester Uni in 1997-2000. I really got into applied theatre practice, and went on to train as a Drama teacher at Manchester Met. After 15 years of working in education and community settings, I have stepped away from this work.

Since 2012 I have begun making my own solo work, which I continue to do as part of my PhD practice.

I have also begun to make work for a more traditional theatre setting, although I wouldn't call the work itself traditional. It's really influenced by Welsh-based practitioners like Mike Pearson and Jill Greenhalgh, and a broader concept of performance and post-dramatic theatre.

I am a member of the Yr Odyn Cohort with Volcano Theatre Company, and I was awarded a WalesLab development bursary (2014) for my latest project (below).

Location:

Bridgend (& Aberystwyth) Wales

Projects I’m working on:

Having passed through the first phase of development for my WalesLab project: 'My Real Mother' (March 2014), with mentoring support from Richard, Renny & Simon at Quarantine theatre company, I am now exploring where to take this work in 2015.

I am also very active in supporting the emerging arts scene in Bridgend in Carnegie House.

Also ongoing PhD research which explores Feminist narratives of childbirth.
