    ARE YA BLIND OR WHAT?
    My new Radio Documentary follows a group of visually impaired people in the process of making a radio play. Members of Sightless Cinema speak about how they live without light.
    The documentary is the result of months and months of conversations, train journeys and rehearsals. Are you blind or what? is about the ability for members to let the light in, even when you cannot see. The documentary reveals that it's not always about the Radio Play or the performance, but rather the journey.

    What got you through lockdown?
    Five 3rd Year Students from Portlaoise College, County Laois come together exactly one year after the first lock down to discuss what pieces of art helped them through the last 12 months, at a time when they were unable to see their friends. With no Junior Cert exams to worry about, it allowed them to explore other Poets not on the curriculum and form even better relationships with their teachers! For Josh singing songs from "Waitress" helped him pass the time, for Lucy it was reading and writing and for Ben watching movies like "Sound of Metal".
