The opening event Assault on RUA RED was a musical and visual homage to John Carpenter - an exciting and immersive experience, pairing live musical performances, light installations and film. Performed in collaboration with Dr. Neil O’Connor and Matthew Nolan.

REWIND 2015 examined one of the most enduring and popular genres of cinema, asserting how Sci Fi film reflects attitudes towards scientific progress, technology, and reason as they have evolved over the course of the 20th and 21st century. In addition to the film programme there was an impressive series of special events exploring the nature of performance in the digital age. My particular highlights were;

Contemporary arts practice and screen based technology – exploring new modes of audience engagement, collaboration and participation through screen based technology with Dance artist Cathy Coughlan.

The intimate relationship of humans and technology. – A public lecture by Professor Matthew Causey (TCD).

RUA RED is a dynamic home for the creation and enjoyment of the arts. Along with partner organisations and tenants, the centre hosts a programme of events aimed at all members of the community: locally, nationally and internationally. RUA RED, South Dublin Arts Centre, Tallaght, Dublin
