”Gabrielle is an extremely creative, inquisitive, thoughtful and passionate woman. She has an innate desire to improve the quality of people’s lives, particularly in relation to employing creative practices, at all levels of society.

I attended a workshop conducted by Gabrielle and Karl. The workshop was well structured and the experiential learning approach adopted in the workshop made the concepts easy to understand and enjoyable. Highly recommend them !

I found Discovery Drama's communications course a fun and informal way to learn practical communication tips and tools based on drama techniques. It covered areas such as how to use body language to your advantage, how to manage an audience in meetings and presentations, how to use story telling to deliver your message clearly. I highly recommend Discovery Drama as a refreshing way of learning! goes here

I recently had the pleasure of working with Gabrielle and Karen, who facilitated a presentation skills workshop for our scholars. They were friendly, engaging, and incredibly easy to work with, creating a welcoming and productive environment from the outset. Their openness to suggestions and feedback made the collaboration feel truly tailored to our needs, and their professional yet approachable style kept everyone involved and motivated throughout the day.

Gabrielle joined our strategy away day in Oct 2021.  This was the first time a group of 16 leaders in the Risk, Legal and Compliance team in Davy had physically met in the one place. We had a busy agenda and we asked Gabrielle to provide an icebreaker that would create a sense of ‘one team’.   The purpose was to break down barriers, build trust, focus on teamwork and most importantly have fun.   Under Gabrielle’s stewardship and expert facilitation,  we kickstarted our day with fun energetic ways of getting to know each other.  As leader of the group, it was great to hear hearty laughs, see relationships develop with trust and confidence being built in a safe and inclusive environment.  I personally felt inspired and would highly recommend Gabrielle for any corporate team building event.  An icebreaker with a difference.  Thank you

I would highly recommend Gabrielle's communications workshop.
It is fun but also gets the job done!
The workshop was truly transformative, you could hear and see the change in everyone's delivery and confidence by the end of the day.
Thank you, Gabrielle.

Access Operations Project Officer

Gabrielle's workshop on storytelling and communicating with the audience was by far the best workshop I have attended in my workplace. Engaging, interactive and extremely helpful, with practical tools and exercises not just presented to us but experienced by us in real time with honest feedback and support for improvement and growth.
I highly recommend any type of workshop or session delivered by Gabrielle because I know from living experience that theatre and drama tools are amazing in almost any situation that involves human interaction and, more importantly, communication!
Thank you Gabrielle and voice coach Fiona, I will absolutely meet you again!

Trinity Innovation & Enterprise, TCD Dublin

Working with Gabrielle Breathnach and Discovery Drama brought a unique,  creative dimension to Portal, Trinity Innovation and Enterprise postgraduate programmes. Her ‘Creative Presentations’ session created a supportive, engaging environment where students could step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, and communicate their ideas more effectively, perfectly reflecting Portal's focus on experiential learning and innovation.

A highlight of the day was an engaging and interactive session led by Gabrielle Breathnach from Discovery Drama.

Through the use of drama-based techniques, Gabrielle challenged us to think differently about communication, collaboration and teamwork.

It was such an energising session that sparked great discussion across the team. Would highly recommend Gabrielle to our network for your next team building day.
