Here are some highlights from my 15-minute performance at the opening of ‘Breaking The Patterns Vol. 02’ group exhibition running 11th July – 11th August 2024 at Galería del Antiqvarium, Sevilla. This performance seeks to create a sense of wonder at what a body can do and to explore the collective consciousness of signifiers surrounding...Read More

Here is a little glimpse into the making of my iconic chocolate stilettos! This is definitely my favourite live art performance piece. Performed for a handful of different audiences with a ‘fresh’ pair of chocolate heels each time, the act is an autobiographical exploration of identity and becoming. Like all my live art, it also...Read More

‘My pole dance jaunt is now old enough to vote’, I wrote in an Instagram post as I drank alone in a swanky cocktail bar in Sevilla.

In the tiny mirror of my eyeshadow palette, I hardly recognise who I am anymore. Red lipstick bleeding into brown over my cheekbones and creeping upwards and across my forehead, hair strewn asunder. I survey the scene; remnants of chocolate are embedded into the carpet in streaks like the imprints of a wild animal roaming...Read More

My default response as an Irish person would be to say that 2023 was ‘grand’ if asked. The truth is, I am the happiest I have been in years. It feels like a vainglorious humblebrag to say that it’s been a good year, especially amidst the chaos of existence right now. But, I am happy....Read More

“…I think what the audience perceives from your dancing is sometimes beyond your control and all that you can hope is that they will relate to it and feel some kind of an emotion. That’s all I want to do is to make people feel something within themselves when I’m moving.” Recently I was visited...Read More

‘So what’s your day job outside of this?’ I often get asked by my pole students as we’re chatting between workshops. ‘This,’ I say. ‘This is my day job!’ Pole dancing, particularly teaching, is how I earn a living. When you book into one of my workshops, take my online lessons and / or attend...Read More

Undoing her coat in the hallway, she slowly reveals her black lingerie underneath. She fixes her stockings in the living room mirror. Removing her coat, she enters the bedroom. See her on the bed, reaching...Read More
