ABOUT

Fergus is a multi-disciplinary, solo performer.  His practice explores the expressive possibilities of text, music and movement  - in combination and in juxtaposition. His work can be see at spoken word, cabaret, burlesque and dance events but can best be categorised as:

SPOKEN WORD: A lyrical text with a live accordion accompaniment.  More HERE

THEATRICAL ENTERTAINMENT: Everything else...  highly visual, parodic pieses that draw their references from burlesque, physical theatre, live art and modern dance.  These theatrical pieces of entertainment can end up in SHOWS or VIDEOS.

His work is playful.
