Original Artist // Session Musician from Cork.

Alison Glennie is a British actor and cross-disciplinary artist residing in West Cork, Ireland. She entered the Arts world as a child actor, working in film and television in the UK. More recently she has been working as a voice artist, recording many programmes for RTE Radio One.

As an artist/facilitator, Alison produced ‘Opportunities’ in 2019; a short documentary film for The Brothers of Charity, Bandon. A group of service users were directly involved in the film making process. The project was supported by Cork Co Co Arts. Alison has made several films for Cope Foundation, an organisation which supports the lives of adults with intellectual disability. 

'Point of Departure: A Lament' is a short performance art film, which documents a live event, experienced by the Skibbereen Arts Festival audience in 2017. This ephemeral, site-responsive performance, which honoured the ancestors and spirit of place, was devised and produced by Alison and was the inaugural show at the striking Reen Farm Sculpture Garden in West Cork; a townland once ravaged by An Gorta Mor. The event was kindly hosted by artists John and Christina Kelly, who had invited Alison to create a performative work for this historically significant land at Reen, near Skibbereen. The film was included in the programme of events for Coming Home: Art and the Great Hunger at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre and screened at several international film festivals in addition to Indie Cork(Irl), Beara(Irl), Hebden Bridge(UK) "It was like being inside a dream." - Sarah Horgan, Evening Echo, Cork. Honourable Mention at HIFF (Russia).

Alison facilitated Drama Club workshops for children at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre for over 20 years. She introduced participants to works exhibited within the gallery space, using these as a springboard for the children’s imaginative processes. Embracing a multi-disciplinary approach, several artists in residence were invited to collaborate with her in delivering sessions during their residency term. 

‘STEPS’, a poetry film made in 2021, is Alison's response to the global pandemic. It represents a distillation of the sensory experiences felt by an older citizen, after their world further contracts under lockdown. First published in Atticus Review. Official selection at Absurd Art House film festival (UK), REELpoetry/HoustonTX (USA), Vesuvius (Italy). 

Emerging once again, from the silence and isolation of lockdown in 2021, she appeared as Muriel in the 'Coast Road' film, an Indie production directed by Brian Stynes at Hard Bargain Pictures. It was shot on location in West Cork. "Alison Glennie as Muriel is superb, with a more nuanced and subtle performance, as a lonely character who likes to gossip at times." - Jason Delgado, Film Threat review (USA).

Alison enjoyed voicing surrealist dance artist Tilly Losch in the poetry film 'Because Goddess is Never Enough'. This production was a collaboration between award winning UK artists, the poet Rosie Garland and poetry filmmaker Jane Glennie. 'Because Goddess is Never Enough' is a unique evocation of one woman’s creative life and by extension the lives of so many creative women throughout time.” - Marie Craven, Moving Poems.This film is currently screening at international film festivals and UK arts festivals, winning Best Video Art at Women in Cinema Festival (Spain)in 2023.
 
Alison was glad to have the opportunity to receive the TAP training and has enjoyed delivering several artist residencies in both primary and post primary schools in 2022. BLAST is an Arts-in-Education Residency Programme managed by West Cork Education Centre and funded by the Department of Education and Creative Ireland. A short film 'Having a BLAST at Kilgarriffe National School', documents the activities and hybrid approach employed by her in the delivery of the BLAST programme at the national school. It is viewable on Alison Glennie's Vimeo channel. Alison continues to deliver drama workshops as part of the BLAST programme in 2023.
