Set Design

Jo designed scenography, co-wrote and co-directed Season Of The Wolf with Sineád O’Brien. Reintroducing wolves and rewilding Ireland through storytelling and dance, the show ran for the five weeks of October 2025. Jo collaborated with Brendan Atkins to create an adaptable set, transformed between daytime family-friendly performances and nighttime 18+ shows.

Costumes were designed by Jo and commissioned from a cross-border group of artists, including Brendan Farren, Jack Pierce and Síobhra Farrell.

Set Drawings for Fur Door

Autumn 1653: Death and violence have been brought to the land by Oliver Cromwell. The Lord Protector’s iron hand is laying waste to ancient ways, casting a bloody shadow. Beyond the pale, rebels play tricks, a She-Wolf howls. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Season Of The Wolf sinks its teeth into Ireland’s darkest histories, myth and lore. Drawing inspiration from the Topographia Hibernica, Cromwellian propaganda as well as traditional games from the National Folklore Collection, the show curates a unique interactive experience for local and international audiences. Join us by the light of the moon, listen to twisted tales and seek the wildness within.

In tandem with their role as a Seanchaí, performing stories from Irish folklore and mythology, Jo handcrafted five seasonal set transformations representing 19th century customs.

These were created for educational purposes, sourcing vintage materials and foraging local plants, with a strong attention to ethnographic records.
