Workshop leader Coilín "The Oh-Aissieux" is the founder-director of the Narrative Arts Club, which has been bringing innovative storytelling to audiences in Dublin city centre since September 2005. Coilín has also performed professional storytelling shows for clients including the students' unions at both the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) and the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), the de Bono Foundation and the Royal Dublin Society (RDS).
