Had so much fun doing a spoken word gig on a barge tonight at Grand Canal Dock. Beautiful vibe, lovely setting, great community of people. Shared the stage with the hugely talented Colm Keegan, Lisa O’Neill and Alain Servant. Thanks to Erin Fornoff for organizing this little private gig and for the invitation to perform. […]
The Leftovers is a truly extraordinary piece of storytelling. Somehow I missed the show properly when it came out some years ago, but I am so glad I connected with it now. A deep, thoughtful, insightful, profound meditation on faith, grief, loss, identity and the human condition. I have never seen a show like it […]

I’m loving the opportunity to use inflection and intonation as a way of bringing emotion and energy through to the listener & […]

The creativity and ingenuity on display is breathtaking, and it is unsurprising that the video was a staff pick on the homepage of Vimeo. As I understand it, Kevin built this using Adobe After Effects, and the result […]
I watched this remarkable show last week and it is still reverberating with me. An astonishing piece of work that tackles grief, identity, work-life balance, belief systems, and so much more. A workplace drama that doubles as a meditation on life, with a propulsive piece of thriller storytelling at its centre. There’s hints of David […]
Creativity takes many forms. Today I dyed some eggs for Easter with my kids. It’s good, messy fun.
