Since then, she has worked and toured extensively with distinguished dance companies and choreographers, including Irish Modern Dance Theatre, Rex Levitates Dance Company (later renamed Liz Roche Company), and with other artists, including composers Christian Mason and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly, and photographers Elena Galotta and Luca Truffarelli.
In addition to her collaboration with other artists, Liv O’Donoghue has developed her own choreographic practice. Her work has been shown at dance festivals in Ireland, Europe, Japan, and the USA.

Her widely acclaimed work is supported by the Arts Council, Culture Ireland, and Dance Ireland.
