Jade O'Connor

Jade is an actor, writer, the­atre maker & performer.

She is delighted to be a recip­i­ent of an Arts Coun­cil project award to cre­ate a new show, Mal­ibu Disco, with esteemed direc­tor and the­atre maker, Wayne Jor­dan, through­out 2025.

She col­lab­o­rates and devises with var­i­ous direc­tors, artists, musi­cians and the­atre com­pa­nies both nation­ally & inter­na­tion­ally; and works across film, the­atre, music and dance.

Jade is a recip­i­ent of the Next Gen­er­a­tion Award — Arts Coun­cil of Ire­land. She was selected to take part in the Next Stage Pro­gramme 2023. She was also an Asso­ciate Artist at THI­SIS­POP­BABY 2024. Jade has just com­pleted a year long ISAAC Cre­ative Men­tor­ship Pro­gramme with Ira Sei­den­stein (Author of Clown Secret and Quan­tum The­atre).

Jade also releases music under the artist name JADE O and her com­mer­cial releases can be found on all music plat­forms includ­ing Spo­tify, iTUNES & Amazon.

She has also received a Com­mis­sions Award — Arts Coun­cil of Ire­land for her new the­atre work Dance­hall, sup­ported by KFEST Music & Arts Fes­ti­val and Siamsa Tire — The National Folk The­atre of Ire­land, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with sound designer & com­poser Alma Kel­li­her. This project is an uncov­er­ing of our dance his­tory. An invi­ta­tion to con­nect. Dance­hall is a med­i­ta­tion on dance in Ire­land, its death and its res­ur­rec­tion. A spec­ta­cle of hearty music and dance through a nuanced con­tem­po­rary the­atre mak­ing lens.
