I am a freelance producer and dramaturg based in Dublin. My background in teaching and academics demonstrates my thoroughness and dedication to organisation, detail, and nuance. I am inspired by theatre that troubles the boundaries of the stage, questions the perception of truth, and embraces the value of personal narrative. I love supporting the creative process and facilitating the resources, both material and intangible, needed to push boundaries. My background is in post dramatic theatre and I am excited to grow in learning more in the circus and spectacle spaces.
