About the Artist
Ashton is a multidisciplinary queer and neurodivergent artist, working in movement, theatre and circus. Ashton’s creative practice has taken them in all manner of unexpected directions, now working across multiple art-forms, creating pieces which explore authentic communication and connection, and working to combine text with physical expression.
Culture Connects
British Council Ireland are supporting DIVE this year under British Council’s Culture Connects programme, as it connects Northern Irish cultural professionals such as Ashton to a wider network of professionals to allow them to broker new connections, share knowledge, and develop their craft.
