I am a dance artist - performer, choreographer, teacher - based in Dublin.

Since graduating from the dance theatre department of Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg, the Netherlands, I have worked with many established choreographers in Ireland, touring nationally and throughout the UK and Europe. I am developing my own choreographic work integrating my experiences as a performer. Two of my recent choreographic productions have been supported by Arts Council Project Awards; INIT:The Warm Up Project (2019) On.Pulse. (2017). I am Associate Artist with Liz Roche Company 2019-2021, a recipient of an Arts Council of Ireland Next Generation Award 2020 and an active contributing member of Dance Ireland and the Irish contemporary dance field.

In a recent interview about my work, I was described as quietly radical. I am asking hard questions of myself and my studio practice.

I’m testing new approaches in my dance making and adapting process models from other industries and fields of knowledge. In 2019 I used the Agile methodology from the software industry to enhance and track my creative process with a team of dancers. I aim to facilitate studio practice that is collaborative and which gently dismantles the conventional hierarchy of choreographer-dancer relationship.

As a mover and a dance maker I am interested in communication through the body and movement as a language, in sharing space and exchanges with an audience, in the interplay of preparation, listening and adaptability, and in honesty and clarity of intention in performance. In dance I want to explore embodied imagination, making visible the mind in action through the body in motion. I want to make dance that shares with the audience the liveness of being in a state of exploration. At present my solo practice is directed towards Improvisation for Performance, exploring presence and working with structures and scores for performance.
