Fearghus Ó Conchúir is an independent choreographer and dance artist. Brought up in Ireland, he completed degrees in English and European Literature at Magdalen College Oxford, before training at London Contemporary Dance School. Fearghus's work investigates the relationship between individuals and determining social and political structures.

He involves audiences and performers in multi-layered encounters with our sense of place, identity and history. His film and live performances, seen in Europe, the US and China,  are affecting, thought-provoking and deeply resonant with audiences.

Recent work includes "Tabernacle", addressing the impact of religion on the body and "Starlight", a promenade performance about charisma. In 2013, he will premiere "Cure", a piece about what it takes to recover.

Fearghus is also Independent Dance Curator at the Firkin Crane, Cork. He was the first Ireland Fellow on the Clore Leadership Programme and continues to contribute to the programme as a facilitator and speaker. He is a Board member of Project Arts Centre and Dance Digital and is part of Project Catalyst, the Associate Artist Initiative of Project Arts Centre.
