Luke Casserly

Luke Casserly is a multidisciplinary performance maker 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 and the UK (1000 Miniature Meadows, 2020-23) and the planting of 1000 indigenous trees in the Irish Midlands (Root, 2021). Luke was awarded the Arts Council’s Next Generation Award in 2023, and was selected for the Norman Houston Multidisciplinary Commissioning Award with Solas Nua in Washington DC,in addition to being chosen to participate in the International Forum as part of Theatertreffen (Berlin Festspiele) 2023. He was appointed as a Biodiversity Artist in Residence with Dublin City Council earlier this year. He holds a BA in Drama and Theatre Studies from Trinity College, Dublin, and a Professional Diploma in Art and Ecological Practice from the National College of Art and Design.
