In over 15 years of my work featuring in various media in Ireland, Northern Ireland & now Scotland, this article here on my Stiltwalking Training in The National by Paula McGuire is one of the loveliest articles I've ever had the privilege of being involved in. Hearing Paula's journey from seriously life-limiting anxiety to a lady who's stood atop a plane, climbed mountains, been in an anti-gravity centrifugal Space-Training container and challenged herself to do an amazing array of things, she was a giant long before she came to me to learn to walk on stilts. Superheroes aren't just in cinemas - they are real and live among us in all shapes and sizes - an absolute and unforgettable privilege to work with Paula, and deepest thanks to Stàit Neo-Eisimeileach Sonais' own Superhero, Mr Calum Beaton for being so amazingly awesome so often and sharing some well-needed training space.
