Accessible & Inclusive Music-Making
No full textThis research project aimed to assist musicians with intellectual disabilities in the collaborative music-making process. By designing and implementing accessible techniques, the study addressed the question: What songwriting and music production techniques can support musicians with intellectual disabilities to create original music? The outcome was a framework of techniques and three original compositions created in collaboration with these musicians.
Using qualitative methods such as autoethnography, action research, observations, and music-specific practices, the project involved multiple collaborative sessions where participants actively engaged in music composition and recording. Techniques included pre-production interviews, influence analysis, instrument experimentation, and lyrical exploration. The findings highlight the effectiveness of participatory approaches and iterative testing, contributing valuable insights into inclusive music-making practices and promoting accessibility in creative processes
The Eternal Flame: Creating Visual Storytelling Through Emotion Design
No full textThis creative practice research project explores the use of emotion design techniques through visual storytelling in the form of a 68-page graphic novel design and an accompanying exegesis.

Via a creative component, the research documents the practical application of the theoretical concepts using the form of a graphic novel, highlighting the importance of the emotional affect on an audience experience
Saltwater and Dirt: Using magical spaces for queer re-worlding
No full textThis research project is a work of autotheory situated under the umbrella of Queer Theory. The work encompasses a theoretical component and a short performance art film and the two should be viewed as part of the whole. The creative practice has been used as a device to speak to the theory and bring it to life. The theory has informed, and homogenised with, the making of the art film. Through the course of this creative research project I found my way to a queer becoming through the comingling of magical phenomena, composting (Haraway, 2016, p.97) and hydrofeminism (Neimanis, 2012). The project introduces the concept of inter-gardening as a way to traverse the liminal space of queer becoming and embodiment.
Scaffolding this project is a Queer Phenomenological reading of Simone de Beauvoir’s theories of societal gender conditioning and the conceivability of a hermaphrodite society. Judith Butler’s ideas of gender performativity and fragmentation amalgamate in this project with an autotheoretical and arts-based research approach. Through this lens the research uses magical realism as a tool to examine new gender realities and queer becoming.
The theory and creative work revolve around the creation of an alternative reality fused with magical possibilities. Bodies in this world are not gendered and evolve in authentic multiplicities. This re-worlding is building on the work of feminist thinker Donna Haraway and her ideas of compostists, sympoiesis and her Camille Stories. I have developed this alternative reality into a filmic world and within it adopted a character, Imra, to embody. The research project culminated in a coalescence of theory and art practice. The boundary between Imra’s journey of becoming and my own became indistinguishable
