Fiona Stout is currently an MLitt conducting interdisciplinary, neurohumanities research on the interconnective soft tissue matrix known as fascia and fluidity in the actor-body. Key areas of research include fascia, neuroscience, trauma, embodiment, flow-state, cellular mechanics, biotensegrity, and physiology. Fiona moved to Ireland from California in 2014, graduating with a BA in acting from The Lir in 2017, after which she re-certified as a yoga teacher and has continued to upskill with workshops and trainings ever since. She seeks to facilitate ease for her students and collaborators, empowering them to use their bodies in more fluid and fascia-friendly ways.
