Squarehead Productions works as a transient space for collaboration in the fields of artistic research and creation. Over the years the SHP has encountered several other artists who have either collaborated with the company on common or who’s ideas and working methods have contributed to the companies guiding principles. In order to honour them and their contributions they are featured below with links accessing their personal work.

Cristina Ciampaglione

Cristina is an independent producer and curator, and an Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle associate. She started collaborating with SQHP in 2026, and curates multidisciplinary arts events with the Italian Cultural Institute in Dublin.

Her work with the Irish Street Arts, Circus and Spectacle Network made her an advocate for the sector. She has experience managing arts projects in Ireland and Italy, focused on public art, murals and exhibitions. She is also a printmaker specialising in woodblock printing.

Elysia McMullen

Elysia works with SHP both as a producer and a performer for the production The Whistle II. She has a background in contemporary dance, but a few years ago pivoted to the circus world.

Roman Skadra

Roman graduated from Die Etage in 2017. Since then Darragh has been collaborating as an artistic advisor for Roman’s work ‘Absurd Hero’ - an exploration of the relationship between a body and a large heavy walking globe. Inspired by Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus - this work presents circus as a potentially joyful, yet endlessly futile endeavour.

Nina Illouz

Nina and Darragh have worked together since 2015 by providing common artistic advice and more recently by sharing a residency in 2018 with the aim to research and gather material for a potential collaborative piece. Nina has worked as part of the cast of ‘Humanoptère’ by Clement Dazin, ‘Ballade à quatre’ by Vincent de Lavenère and more recently Collectif Petit Travers.

Nina is a part of the cast of ‘The Whistle II’ and also performs a solo version of the concept co-created by herself and Darragh.
