Ep 77 – Activating your voice, writing political musicals and the magic of performance with Deirdre Murphy
Send us a text
Deirdre Murphy is a musician, interdisciplinary artist, and neuro-somatic coach. She grew up in rural Alaska with a profound connection to nature, and lived and travelled throughout the US before moving to Ireland. She is the creator of many original works of music, dance, theatre, circus, and performance art, including the circus musical Capitalism: The Musical (2017), a synthesis of work in theatre, circus, dance, music and activism. The musical toured Ireland and Italy to sold out houses and has been translated into Italian.
Deirdre's first passion lies in dance and the body, and she is a lifelong practitioner and teacher of movement technique and bodywork. She plays guitar and ukulele and uses a loop station and DAW, and writes and performs spoken word vignettes. She has written more than 60 songs, and is known for the poetry and wordplay of her lyrics. Deirdre has worked as an aerialist, taught acrobatics internationally at circus festivals and workshops, and has designed costumes and sound for theatre. She makes her own merchandise, and draws inspiration from the Sheela na Gig icon found carved into stone all over Ireland - a symbol of women's generative power. Her work has toured and performed in Canada, Germany, Italy, the UK and throughout the USA.
Through her creative practice, Deirdre aspires to present the ideal of each individual’s right to the very highest level of human rights - while engaging in comical mishaps, awkward timing etc.
In this episode Jen and Deirdre discuss:
· Deirdre shares her journey of self-expression and the power of activating the voice
· The challenges people face in using their voices and the cultural influences that contribute to these challenges
· How to play and experiment with your voice to develop confidence and connection
- Use self-directed neuroplasticity to rewire neural pathways and overcome fears and anxieties
