I enjoy a rich interdisciplinary arts practice as the 'playmaker' behind Grand Stretch®. 

As a student of Drama & Theatre Studies at Trinity College Dublin, I was a hyperactive member of DU Players drama society. From 2009 to 2013, I was playing as many roles as I could, producing-directing my own plays (with original music), and working away behind the scenes with friends—because I was thrilled by it all. And I wanted to do everything, everywhere, all at once. Soon after graduating, I followed a kind-eyed man to Canada, where I learned that it was possible to do this. (The man's name was Dave, and we're married now, but that's a happy story for another day.)

I discovered Vancouver TheatreSports™ at The Improv Centre, where I spent two years training and performing with the company as their Education and Outreach Coordinator. Initially drawn to the idea of "play-making", improvisation became my paradigm for the world. So much of what I now know about myself, understand in others, and believe about life, I have learned through this practice. Anchored in Keith Johnstone’s Impro method, my approach has been steadily informed by my own experiences (onstage and off), interests, curiosities, revelations and beliefs — all of which I has evolved into programmes called Spirit Guides and Making Senses.
