Late 2020:
My Cork Jewish Culture Virtual Walk project received a National Heritage Week 2020 award. You can view it here.
Throughout lockdown, the development of Green Feather Boa has continued, with a full reading with five actors on Zoom, a re-write (resulting in the fourth draft now being complete) and the scoring of the songs. You can now see a photocollage with music from the second reading, in Cork City Hall, here.
Both of these projects were supported by Cork City Council.
