I studied Acting in Chile and I continue with my development as an artist in Ireland completing a Technical theatre course 2005 and a master\u2019s degree in Theatre studies in 2009. The same year I started working as a clown and in 2013 I started my training in the Pochinko Method, \u201cclown through mask\u201d, with Sue Morrison. This training revolutionised my understanding of the art of clowning and brought my practice towards a higher artistic level, its main principle is: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we ever face all directions of ourselves at once we could only laugh at the beauty of our own ridiculousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this principle, I am interested in the creation of original work that reveals the essence of our humanity in a genuine and abandoned way, creations that speak and deal with themes that are relevant to our times. I want to connect with an audience and bring my personal experience in the performance of universal themes.<br>Furthermore, utilising theatrical and clown techniques I want to investigate and develop the interconnection between theatre, clown and Circus arts. I believe that Circus arts are the forefront of contemporaneous performance arts and that the general public is thirsty for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>My work is based on the ethos of hard work, commitment, respect, consistency, discipline, free expression and fun.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-contact-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t   <div class=\"awsm-social-icons\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/angelica.santander.7\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"awsm-member-info-7931-8024\"  class=\"awsm-grid-expander style-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-detailed-info\" id=\"awsm-grid-content-8024\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-content-scrollbar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Visual Artist<\/span><h2>Austin Ivers<\/h2>\n<p>Austin Ivers is a Galway based artist and educator, lecturing in Contemporary Art at GMIT.

The work creates a primitive\/ritualistic environment in the modern world, highlighting and observing aspects of everyday life to the extent that they become bigger then life. Through the blending of different points of reference, Dante\u2019s practice develops a unique language of expression, in this the viewer feels lost and found all at the same time. The viewer picks up on moments of recognition, but these moments are fleeting and quickly dissolve into the hum of experience. As one grapples for meaning, they are placed outside of their comfort zone and therefore become open to broadened thoughts. The work speaks for the importance of forgotten languages as forms of expression, sounds that have lost their meaning but carry power like a mantra or prayer. The meaninglessness reflects the uselessness of art, taking reference from Oscar Wilde\u2019s, A Picture of Dorian Gray, (\u2018the only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely\u2019). The work has an intensity that speaks for the empowerment of art, the ability to take simplicity (objects such as the telephone directory) and making them the source of profound feeling. Inspired by the great Irish literary figures Wilde, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, this work intends to stand for art\u2019s ability not to reflect or define the human condition, but once this work is experienced the viewer knows less about life and more about existence.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-contact-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t   <div class=\"awsm-social-icons\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/billydanteart.wixsite.com\/billydante\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-link\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/billydante\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"awsm-member-info-7931-6087\"  class=\"awsm-grid-expander style-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-detailed-info\" id=\"awsm-grid-content-6087\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-content-scrollbar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Visual Artist<\/span><h2>Bob Campbell<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cto find for each person those umbilical cords that put us in communication with other suns\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roberto Matta<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-contact-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"awsm-member-info-7931-4904\"  class=\"awsm-grid-expander style-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-detailed-info\" id=\"awsm-grid-content-4904\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-content-scrollbar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Director<\/span><h2>Ciara Scanlan<\/h2>\n<p>Ciara Scanlan is an Artist and Curator based in Dublin.

A key theme that underpins much of my work is the concept of power and class and how that finds expression in the structures that we create as a society and how it is reflected in the built environment around us. l often make drawings and paintings of specific buildings with a certain social significance and then layer them with multiple perspectives, abstracting the image to an extent in order to give expression to a deeper social meaning such as class consciousness or our relation to nature or the likes. These more philosophical concerns act mainly as a point of embarkation but which also fuel the evolution of my work throughout the creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My work is often based on certain vexations towards the systemic forces that dominate contemporary society, but rather than concentrating on the negative associations of this, I prefer to look at the positive potentiality for progressive change. My work up to this point has consciously excluded figurative representations of the human form, as I&#8217;m more concerned with expressing the structural nature of systemic oppression that exist, rather than the subjective or individualistic experiences that each of us go through. My work possesses a strong Marxian influence which often underpins the social expression that I am aiming to incorporate into the work. These concerns are more about my own subjective input, they act as the driving force that under pins my creative process. My work tends to look at the common threads that exist between our manufactured environment and that of the natural world and the symbiotic structures that exist within this relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aesthetic concerns play a significant role in how the work finds expression, these deeper social and philosophical concerns at a certain point give way to the simplicity of creating a visually pleasing image or structure. Aesthetics I feel It are important with regard to our collective need for order and symmetry in relation to making a connection with the viewer. Which in essence is actually a material reflection of these deeper systemic themes that I an attempting to address. My work often tends to start off with a simple image, design or text that appeals to me, and through a process of drawing or writing it evolves and incorporates various different elements throughout, I tend not to start off with a comprehensive plan but rather a loose outline and I just let the project evolve as I go, this method allows the work to take on a life of its own which can lead to sometimes unexpected and interesting results.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-contact-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t   <div class=\"awsm-social-icons\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/conorburke78.wixsite.com\/my-site-3\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-link\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/consoc78\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-instagram\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"awsm-member-info-7931-7506\"  class=\"awsm-grid-expander style-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-detailed-info\" id=\"awsm-grid-content-7506\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-content-scrollbar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Artist<\/span><h2>Conor Nolan<\/h2>\n<p>Conor Nolan is an illustrator currently based in Dublin.

Filtered through the lens of abstraction, her work interprets the things we find in our homes and in the built environment that signal something about how taste produces meaning.

She deploys science, art &amp; performance to make fibre art and to produce performances elevating the audience to a protagonist. Her practice blends contrasting strands. Set as an academic with a doctorate in AI makes her relentlessly curious. Living as a disabled person instils her resilience. Her practice is nurtured by meaningful connections with people with various abilities and from diverse backgrounds. All is done with wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her process starts at exploring humans in art participatory engagements. Meanwhile, experimentation with techniques and materials is at full steam in her studio. Both her felt and the feltmaker get stronger by trial. Eventually, wool transforms into a sculpture and a site specific installation. Each sculpture embodies the journey from the darkness of personal and tribal aches into the light of hope and possibilities. Certain aspects of the work are collaborated in performances which enable us to examine values and nudge us to shift perspectives.&nbsp; All is done with the intention that art would empowers us to become the difference we need in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her creative battles are in Symbols of Mobilty \u2013 a multidisciplinary body of work informed by bird lore. They start with art participatory research. This develops into sculptures at site specific dance installations, captured in photography and film. The flock has enticed people and stakeholders and has enabled Niki to collaborate supported by Culture Ireland, Creative Ireland, Arts Council and Design and Crafts Council Ireland and the Bulgarian and Irish Embassy. In 2025 a couple of pairs of wings were acquired by the OPW, and installation photos are owned by the Bulgarian Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this has lead to a special place in her new work -Fofusaka Creatures. These contorted but joyful creatures celebrate choosing joy when faced with pettiness and fear. The complex felt sculptures incorporating intricate nodes and closures, reviewed as the pinnacle of every creator by peers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-contact-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t   <div class=\"awsm-social-icons\"><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikicollier.com\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"awsm-icon-link\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"awsm-member-info-7931-6688\"  class=\"awsm-grid-expander style-1\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-detailed-info\" id=\"awsm-grid-content-6688\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-personal-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"awsm-content-scrollbar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Musician<\/span><h2>Ruth O&#8217;Mahony-Brady<\/h2>\n<p>Ruth is a musician, producer and composer.
