Nell Buckley (she/her) is an emerging producer based in Galway who is passionate about using the arts to bring communities closer together. With a background in music, and a keen interest in Irish and Latin American cultural history and activism, Nell has produced a variety of shows and spectacles that cross culture and entertainment with key societal issues, empowering audiences to come together and make a positive change.

Eager to platform more aerial, circus and street spectacles along the west coast of Ireland, Nell has been delving into the Irish circus scene thanks to organisations like Galway Community Circus classes, ISACS and Promenade. Experienced in programming, event management and audience development, Nell is a great point of contact for those wishing to come west to Galway.

Niall has been a member of the circus arts community for 15+ years. Developing as an artist, performer and teacher in the area of flow arts and fire disciplines, he moved forward to a professional career in circus and spectacle. As such, he has ground-level experience of what is required for artists to flourish in the projects he manages.

Having been a part of productions both in Ireland and abroad, working with multiple companies within a variety of environments — street, circus and theatre settings, from deserts to high altitude, he brings his breadth of experience forward to his production management.

Serving on the board of directors of Dublin Circus Project (2012-2018) as both Public Relations Officer and Vice-Chair, he managed and led events, focusing heavily on effective marketing and sales campaigns.

Niall now works as an independent producer/project manager in the CSAS sector.
