Baba Yaga

Major Project 2020-2021

In Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is a supernatural being who appears as a deformed or ferocious-looking old woman. Living at the heart of the forest in a hut that spins on chicken legs. She is a shapeshifter in form and nature, choosing to help or hinder.

 

This is a personal project that I created as part of my degree show. Inspired by the fairy tales of Baba Yaga and my heritage I worked with a scriptwriter and cinematographer to create a story that encompasses Yaga's transformative qualities. I was the

Co-director, Concept artist, Art Director, Makeup/Costume/Production Designer and Maker, Producer, head MUA and Set dresser for this project.

​

Logline: A young woman visits the terrifying crone in the woods seeking help. The strange encounter hovers between reality and nightmarish folktales.

La Calisto - Opera 

​

Dir. Sinéad O'Neill

Produced by Kathleen Tynan and Royal Irish Academy of Music

​

La Calisto is sublime, ridiculous and bawdy all at the same time. Sinéad's production sets the action inside a box, where the enormities of the heavens are represented by symbolic domestic objects. The logic of dreams prevails and anything can happen.

​

Head Designer for this production along with Aoife Kelly, Lauren Wheatley, Maria Blay Gomez, Judith Smolenski, Kristina Tokic and Saoirse Carey.

The Crack

This is a Puppet Film created in collaboration with 3rd year students from the NFS. Our film followed the story of a young boy who discovers the family secret through a  crack in the wall.

Alice in Wonderland

One of our 2nd year design projects , it consisted of building a small set box and designing a range of characters. I took it the extra mile by creating recreating the character of the Mad Hatter and Alice in real life.
