Aerial performance artist Michaela Heyer (Funki Fi) visited Spraoi Studios in recent weeks for a short residency. She was developing and rehearsing her new show Funki Fi Disco Date which will be performed at festivals and events later this year.
In 2015 Michaela was selected as a Spraoi N.E.S.T. (New Emerging Street Talent) artist. Following a mentoring process she subsequently performed at Spraoi International Street Arts Festival, at the Out There Festival, Great Yarmouth, U.K., and finally at the National Circus Festival in Tralee. Already in 2026 Spraoi Studios have hosted residencies by Fanzini Productions and performer Colm O’Grady, both of whom feature at this year’s Spraoi International Street Arts Festival July 31st to August 2nd.
