About Me

Photo of Cathal Carroll
My name is Cathal Carroll. I'm Irish and I live in Tuscany.

I have been performing since 1999. I have worked in numerous creative fields from circus and street theatre to improvisation and Shakespearian theatre. My career has brought me to countless cities across 14 countries and I have performed a variety of shows in 5 languages.

In this time I have also worked regularly as a circus and theatre facilitator with young people and adults.

I now dedicate my time to working with young people, teaching theatre through English or English through theatre, depending on your point of view.
