Freelance TYA Director
In 2019 I discovered my passion as an artistic theatre director for young audiences. I had a dream to make a show inspired by an illustrated children book and I did it. Thanks to residencies, project awards and bursary awards I was able to direct and produce my first complete project called “The Word Factory”. I am now working on the idea of a new show. I’m going to write the story, devise it with performers and direct it. I loved the full process of directing: from the very early stages to the premiere. I have acquired so much experience as I looked at all the aspects: from casting, set designing, music composing to selling it to venues and festivals. The part of the process that I have most enjoyed was directing performers based on my intuitive vision. I usually start the process with ice-breaking games where passions and natural talents emerge. I prefer working with Physical Theatre styles, sound composers, shadow puppets and live music.
Process steps:
- Devising in a rehearsal space;
- Writing down changes and reading it together;
- Table talks;
- Scene blocking;
- Taking and giving feedback at the end of each day;
- Light Queuing;
- Recording;
- Work in Progress Presentation;
- “I always make the last decision”
I am happy to collaborate as a freelance Artistic Director and Producer in TYA for Projects and Shows aimed to children from 4 to 10 years old. In Galway, in Ireland and abroad. I manage my own taxes (and my own insurance if necessary).
