Conor Kennedy Burke
Hi there. My name is Conor and I am a performer, theatre practitioner, movement designer, and filmmaker from Galway, Ireland.
I am graduate of Film Studies at the Huston School of Film and Digital Media, University of Galway, and have also completed my MA in Creative Practices and Directing at the Guildford School of Acting, Surrey UK.
I have a keen interest in developing new work with a passion for devising alongside a creative team and ensemble for theatre, dance, and film projects alike. I am eager to explore many genres, methodologies, and media.
My own work in recent years has focused on presenting original, multilingual narratives inspired by folk memory. As well as exploring ways in which the world of folklore is intertwined with the everyday; stories that draw on magical realism and immersive experience.
I am always excited to collaborate with and contribute to the work of other artists and invite fellow creatives to get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
