Since joining Cork’s Circus Factory in 2013, my passion for circus and performance arts has only grown.
It all began with a hula hoop but now I often create art activism ranging from the wily and hilarious to thought provoking and insightful. I have worked with themes such as neurodiversity, disability justice, the climate crisis, sex work, repeal the 8th, societal inequality and queer activism.
I delight in communicating the neurodivergent experience through myriad mediums. I am a natural Seanchaí (storyteller) and use dance, prop manipulation, fire, drag, voice, songwriting, sexuality and clowning to communicate the complexity of my inner world and empathy for all creatures. My works exemplify autistic attention to detail, traversing the borders of liminal perception to create a unique and impactful aesthetic experience.
Recently, I have been thoroughly enjoying MCing events at Circus Factory by creating unique and hilarious characters to hold silly space for audiences.
I worked as a Vocal Artist on Yvon Bonenfant’s ‘The Opposite of Queer Trauma’ project in 2025 and am currently staring in his work ‘The Queer Appear, Here’ with Jude O’Neill and Abra Kedavre.
