Welcome to my new site

I've been meaning to do this for a while.

Coming up on thirty years of working in the arts — as an actor, director, playwright, and more recently as a script editor and somatic coach — I've never had one place that gathered it all together. The work has been scattered across different websites, social media, festival listings, the occasional press piece, and a lot of word of mouth. This site is the attempt to bring it into one room.

There are really two things going on here.

The first is a portfolio: a place where producers, venues, funding bodies, and fellow theatre-makers can see what I've directed, written, and worked on, and what's coming up.

The second is the teaching and mentoring side — the courses I run, the one-to-one work with playwrights and screenwriters, and the coaching practice I've trained into more recently.

I'm based in Galway, and most of the in-person work happens here, but the online courses and one-to-one work reach further. Whether you've landed here because you're thinking about taking a course, considering working with me, or just curious — welcome. Have a look around.

I'll be using this blog occasionally, for course announcements, and to document and reflect on my work. Nothing too regular — just when there's something worth saying.
