Luke Casserly

Multidisciplinary performance maker – Dublin, Ireland
Participant International Forum 2023

Luke Casserly is a multidisciplinary performance maker originally from Longford, Ireland. His work weaves together environmental research, documentary, sound art, and site as a way of carving out space for new possibilities to emerge between live performance and physical landscape. To date, his projects have brought audiences through city streets, back gardens, train stations, beaches, and a bog in the Irish midlands. These works have led to the creation of a network of wildflower meadows across Ireland (“1000 Miniature Meadows”, 2020) and the planting of 1000 indigenous trees in the Irish midlands (“Root”, 2021). Often using autobiography as a starting point, his work attempts to stretch out new conversations around our human impact on the environment.
Luke Casserly was recently selected for the Norman Houston Multi-disciplinary Commissioning Award with Solas Nua in Washington DC. He holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from Trinity College Dublin, and is Associate Director of Pan Pan Theatre.
