She integrates instant composition, immersive theatre and durational performance into contemporary dance work that is site-specific, staged and on film.

She has worked with international choreographers, performance ensembles, composers, performance artists and festival programmer performing in Ireland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland and the USA. She was inaugural artist-in-residence at the Dún Laogaire Baths Artist Studios in 2023 from which she has created an on-going coastal project working with communities throughout Ireland to explore and connect with their local landscape through movement and climate conversation.
