Music for Me 2005 – 2012

Dreaming is one of a series of contemporary compositions and interpretation of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, created by the children of Dolphin House Homework Club, Nick Roth and Elaine Agnew. Composer Elaine Agnew was the first composer in residence with RTÉ Lyric FM in 2011 and invited children from Dolphin House Homework Club to professionally record their musical collaborations and compositions including Hansel and Gretel and the Power of Music. These were first performed in the National Gallery (2008) and in the Kevin Barry room of the National Concert Hall (2010) respectively.

Networks of Solidarity – In the Roots

Networks of Solidarity was a series of four monthly online talks co-organised by artist/organiser Kate O’Shea and writer/researcher Enya Moore from the Just City Collective. The Networks of Solidarity series aimed to strengthen transnational networks of solidarity and deepen awareness of place-based struggles that reverberate from Dublin 8 to Gadigal Country (Sydney, Australia).
In the Roots brings together four speakers whose practices are embedded in places of connection, creating sustainable and abundant systems as well as community organisation around ecological concerns. The guest speakers are Alexandra Crosby and Ilaria Vanni (Mapping Edges), Nadeena Dixon (Gadigal, Wiradjuri and Yuin multi-disciplinary artist), and Seoidín O’ Sullivan (artist), facilitated by Dr. Eve Olney (researcher, activist, creative producer and educator).
