Speaker BioDr. Máiréad Ní Chróinín is a theatre artist and researcher. In her individual practice Máiréad has worked with body-centric technologies (sensors, mobile technologies and VR &amp; AR technologies), to create immersive and interactive works that place the audience member at the centre of the experience.  She has presented work in Dublin Fringe Festival, Galway Theatre Festival and Galway Early Music Festival, among others. In 2018 she took part in the SPACE residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, hosted by Performance Corporation, which focused on intersections between VR and AR design and theatre practice.  Most recently, she created a sound-walk commissioned by The Lighthouse Project and Cúirt International Festival of Literature, and co-created ‘Mona’, a work-in-progress sound-walk, with James Riordan, commissioned by Galway Theatre Festival.Máiréad received her PhD from NUI Galway, focusing on how mobile digital technologies can be used to tap into and transform audience members' sensory, embodied experiences in ways that engender empathy and critical reflection. Her current research focuses on ways that creative technologies can intersect with the body of the participant to engender 'ecological perception' and engagement with climate and ecological issues. Máiréad is Co-Artistic Director of Galway-based theatre company Moonfish Theatre, which has produced award-winning theatre in partnership with Babroró, GIAF, Dublin Fringe and the Town Hall Theatre, among others. She is Druid Lecturer at the Drama and Theatre Studies Department of University of Galway, where she lectures on ensemble theatre, producing, arts management ,and body and performance.
