I am spending the autumn semester as a Fulbright Scholar in University College Cork in Cork, Ireland.  It has been a hectic first month with a presentation for the Performance, Politics, and Protest conference held on September 5, 2015 (presentation slides forthcoming!) and two day-long workshops on September 18 and October 2 on Digital Media Research and Pedagogy (with “hands on” segment on the audio-visual essay).  I will have more to say as I catch my breath — UCC and Cork has been a welcoming and stimulating environment — but I wanted to post the slideshows from today’s workshop on: Digital Media: Principles, Tools, Strategies and Video Editing.  Two of the three slideshows begin with a zen garden to put us in relaxed mode for the conversation and practice to follow.
