Burning Sensations

Burning sensations begun with Mahony Kiely, who I met through Neil Cameron Productions.

Mahony gathered together 4 woman, each with a bag of skills and together we created Burning Sensations. In common we had a training with John Bolton Theatre School, working with Neil Cameron Productions, a shared a passion for engaging community, a station wagon and an ability to drive long distances.

From 1996, till about 2005, We created outdoor ritual theatre, parades and celebrations.
We used the elements of puppetry, lanterns, movement, music, song and fire to create an event in response to the community we were in.

I started on the North Richmond Moon Lantern Festival with Mahony as an apprentice, and by 2005 I was directing and facilitating projects.

I continue to do this work, but not under the umbrella of Burning Sensations.
