Writer, Performer, Comic, Journalist, Celebrant
I am a bard, in the traditional sense of the word, with a political, social and shamanic function in the tribe. Filíocht ó béal/ Spoken word oral tradition transmission.
I make one-woman shows and perform spoken word. Funny and edgey. My work is biographical, with elements of improvisation. I aspire to art that is an aesthetic emanation of reality.
My role as a celebrant and ritual maker weaves with the art and I have choreographed community participation spectacles.
I work towards the purpose of re-idgenation, reponding to natural sites, contemporarising our mythologies and reclaiming pre Catholic/colonial traditions using our native lanugage as at tool.

Máthar ag an Doras
The time it takes to get out the door...
Motherhood is reference point of my recent work and is the lens through which I both critique and transmute our modern tragedy.
