Dance Artist in Residency Scheme 2024/2025

I am so happy to announce that Galway Dancer in Residence for 2024/2025.

I am beyond grateful for this opportunity for which I have partnered up with Interface and Galway County Council with support of Galway Dance and Clifden Arts Festival

During this residency I will work on my own dance practice and I will also offer an extensive dance program for my amazing community in Connemara as well as for dance artists who are interested in ecology and movement.

Therefore I will be mentored by ecologist Marie Louise Heffernan and dance artist Edwina Guckian.

If this has sparked some interest already, feel free to contact me. I can't wait to hear from you and dance with you.

March 2024 Wicklow Screendance Laboratory

  • I am so happy to announce that Carrying Wood dance film and my performance in collaboration with Brett Sroka will be part of this years's Wicklow screendance festival as part of their Artist's Salon in Wicklow Town on the 28th of March. I might see you there!

 

  • I was invited to choreograph on the film set for Remote Strutting, a short film commissioned by RTÉ and Ardan. It was an amazing experience and I cant't wait to see the movie (hopefully as part of Galway Fleadh). Read this wonderful article by Mayo News about cast and crew here:

Group exhibition featuring artists; Brett Sroka, Christine Mackey, Linda Schirmer, Noelle Gallagher, Helena Doyle, Sarah Roseingrave

 

To date the woodland symposium’s work in progress has been shared through open days at Interface and at IMMA’s Earth Rising Festival. This exhibition marks the first off-site public presentation of this body of work which for the most part has been created in- and on- site, with the trees, the soil, the light, the water, the sound, the materials of the forest.
