Dara Fitzgerald

Level 8

Four years past, gone too fast! Throughout my time in IT Sligo, I have had many opportunities to practice and develop many skills that I can add to my actor’s toolbox including Chekhov Technique, Stanislavski Technique, Physical Theatre, Devised Theatre and much more. Each time I walk into the Black Box Theatre space, I feel like I’m breathing in a bit of home as it’s one of the few places I feel I can let loose. This degree has given me the hunger to explore the theatre industry whether it be teaching, embodying new characters, or writing and producing my own work.

“If I wasn’t an actor, I think I’d have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger than life- it’s an exhalation of life and I think you probably need a little touch of madness”
