The good. I have ideas for new performances. This always makes me feel better as I have a purpose. Also, I ALWAYS have ideas for performances but I made myself think about what I can make on a practical level, without too much money or asking of others time to make it happen. https://youtu.be/yY45d_5VAPkhttps://youtu.be/yY45d_5VAPk Just Keep Going This is an attempt to perform what I [...]

Here is the link to the film Paul made of the crawl performance. https://youtu.be/dNaO74Mj-uY Night Crawl. Performed October 5th Ennis, Co CLare. Film by Paul Corey. Paul's film is his own edit of the performance. He is going to submit it to some film festivals which hopefully will allow him some accrediation which he very much deserves as he did all this for free. I [...]

ok at least I submitted it- it took me 3 days to write it- I figure when I inevitably get the rejection, or the PFO Please Fuck Off as Emma who curated my First Friday talk calls them, I will have utilized the concept of the prooposal in some other form by then so it willhave been worth while. yada yada. thought I'd get this [...]

Im having one of those weeks- when I find myself just treading water, managing to manage, keeping a rational thought path as my dominant path and trying, trying not to step out onto all those little paths leading off the main path, anxiety, worry, panicky feelings, despair, self disgust, inertia, not good enoughness, general bleakness. I could list all the particular things I am currently [...]

You know when you find yourself waiting for something? Like for a phonecall or an email you really want to get. Or a letter you are hoping will arrive. And you find yourself thinking about this a LOT, and almost starting to shape your thoughts around the outcome. Letting your destiny lay in someone elses hands. (that sounds very life coach-y) the word destiny is [...]

I had a realization this morning driving into Glór. I was in the car and I saw a group of school kids in a procession along the pavement, off out with their teacher somewhere. They looked to be about 7/8 years old. Bringing up the line, at the back, was a little girl in a wheelchair, being pushed along by a lady, probably her SNA. [...]

So I did the night crawl through Ennis town on Saturday night. I know I am going to struggle with how to describe the experience as it was a strange and surreal one. Describe the event on a practical level: See below for the map of the route I took. Its exactly .5k, and takes not even 5 minutes to walk. First mistake was thinking [...]

I am planning to do a durational performance this weekend, Saturday night, here in Ennis Co Clare. Why crawl? See pic above, and also: I’m interested in the juxtaposition of the functionality of crawling- as opposed to the emotive response people might have towards seeing someone. A baby crawling = delight A drunk person crawling = disgust A disabled person crawling, like my child, who [...]

Last Thursday night I performed with a Limerick based collective of artists at their 4rth Live art event, called Collective Evil IV. I had had a normal thursday with the usual schedule, so by the time I got into the car to leg it up to Limerick I was tired and a bit nervous. But I didn't have time to stress as I was late [...]
