Creative Practice

• Conference Presentation:‘The Paris Collection’: Reflections on an inter-disciplinary performance project: This My paper and presentation was accepted for inclusion at the Higher Education in Transformation, Canada/Ireland Symposium conference in Dublin Castle. I presented an evaluation of interdisciplinary study, using as case-study ‘The Paris Collection’, an opera production which I directed and which was presented at the National Concert Hall in January 2014. The original project was performed by DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama students and designed by students from DIT Dublin School of Creative Arts and the collaborative element of the project was the main theme of my paper and presentation. Whilst I composed and presented both the paper and presentation, I also cited my colleague Barry Sheehan as co-author as he had collaborated on the original project and had also provided much of the photographic material which constituted an important component of the presentation.
