I am an Irish-based contemporary dance and queer artist. I graduated with First Class Honours from the MA in Contemporary Dance Performance at the University of Limerick. Before my post-graduate studies, I danced with the Dublin Youth Dance Company and other companies in Ireland and Greece and performed in many European countries.

 

My current interests stem from past experiences and personal memories of movement from specific spaces. My research over the past two years is around the club and queer spaces and their importance to a person's existence and comfort. I have shared my research with other dancers and mentors such as Liz Roche, Philip Connaughton, Emma Martin, and Tonie Walsh.

 

My work is affected by my gender and queerness but I am also really interested in working with dancers and choreographers that have the same sensitivity and political view in these matters. As an individual and an artist I have existed in many different queer and radical spaces around the word, such as Faerie communes in America, anarchist and queer spaces and squats in Greece and queer clubs around Europe. As a genderqueer person, these spaces have been a great political matter to me and they have helped shape my being and my artistry.

 

My current research is around movement memories and specifically those from club and queer spaces
