Dissemination of the project

Throughout the project, the project team have sought to disseminate our on-going findings in the following ways:

• An Internet project blog, developed and maintained by the project team, disseminated findings during the project; https://eportfolio.qmu.ac.uk/viewasset.aspx?oid=132235&type=blog

• Presentations at events included:

Further dissemination is planned through:

• Publication of outcomes in peer-reviewed performing arts journals, such as Theatre Dance and Performance Training (TDPT).
