Luke Casserly & Shanna May Breen
As a duet, Shanna May Breen and Luke Casserly are constantly attempting to stretch out new ways of looking at the planet’s climate crisis through sound, travel and performance. Their work to date has brought audiences on a suburban train to a beach to explore our human connection to the material of plastic (Mould Into Shape, 2019); created a sound project in a gallery that invited participants to look out a window and notice the different forms of plastic on the street (Mould Into Shape: A Street View, 2019); and sparked a national network of listeners and planters, who received a soundscape and packet of meadow seeds in the post to examine Ireland's biodiversity decline in their gardens (1000 Miniature Meadows, 2020).
Shanna May Breen completed her MA in Advanced Theatre Practice at The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama in 2014 and is currently studying a diploma in Climate Entrepreneurship at Trinity College, Dublin. Luke Casserly holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from Trinity College, Dublin and is currently an Associate Artist with Pan Pan Theatre Company. Shanna & Luke are Resident Artists at Dublin FringeLAB.
