About:

Maurice Kelliher directs and devises new works which fuse contemporary dance/physical theatre, video, text and/or sound. His work as an artist has been presented at festivals, venues, and events in the UK, Albania, Italy, Ireland, Brazil, and online. Themes he is interested in include: trauma, identity, and biographies of the overlooked or outcast. He is currently taking time out from his artistic practice — and is working on documentary side-projects.
