‘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. It was June 21st, 2024; my 18th pole dance anniversary, or ‘poleversary’ as it’s referred to by those who also practice this art form. It’s very probable that...Read More

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

‘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.

A woman enters an apartment in Stoneybatter, Dublin. She wears a leopard print trench coat with black patent high heels. 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

Sometimes you meet someone...Read More

Getting up at an ungodly hour to catch the ferry from Rosslare. Boarding the ferry, crammed into a mini bus filled with stags on their way to Cardiff for a weekend of shenanigans. Sitting in the café bar, listening to their soft, beer fuelled but wholesome giddy banter. Watching the shoreline disappear gradually, waves merging...Read More

‘But don’t you ever say I didn’t care, ‘cause that’s not true But don’t you ever say I didn’t care, I care about you’. Please enjoy this sentimental improvisation on spin, in neon yellow.

This is me, after taking the final bow and closing the show having made my performance at the closing night of our ‘Polyphonic Textures’ graduation exhibition at Limerick School of Art & Design, 12/09/2023. ‘But do you really need to go back to art school?’ one of my colleagues seated at the boardroom table asks...Read More

Today is my 17th Poleversary! On Midsummer evening 2006, I took my first pole fitness class in Drogheda.

I’m...Read More

‘Who I am onstage is not who I am’… These words that Michelle Kasey recently wrote hit me really hard and got me thinking about my own performative self vs. everyday self.
