- Song Category: Cork City Hall
- Dance Category: Cork School of Music
- Instrumental Category: Cork School of Music
- Drama Category: The Firkin Crane

A small team of people in COPE Foundation began work on the project in November 2007, and as the festival gained traction a steering committee was formed to ensure its success.
Free workshops and training were provided by COPE Foundation and the Soundbeam project to organisations nationally in the use of Soundbeam which many of our own staff also participated in.
Fundraising efforts included, a golf classic, grant applications, table quiz, hill walk and cycle, a draw, voluntary contributions from City and County Councillors and a fundraising concert. All of these fundraisers were vital to the success of this festival.
COPE Foundation are delighted to report that it’s Irish Performing Arts Festival was a major national success and there has already been calls from many organisations for COPE Foundation to run the event again in 2010. Performers and peer organisations have written and emailed messages of thanks and praise to the staff and volunteers that made the festival possible. This is a credit to all of the performers, volunteers, staff and sponsors that were involved.

Many special schools and adult services in Ireland have recently started working with Soundbeam, the 'invisible keyboard in the air' which allows individuals to become communicative and creative through music and sound regardless of intellectual or physical impairment.
This day is aimed at teachers, carers and others who are already working with Soundbeam but feel ready to take it to the next level, as well as those who have a serious interest but at this stage simply want to find out more and evaluate the technology. The day will cover all the technical 'essentials' and will give exciting examples of applications with different populations and age levels. The day is suitable for all levels of knowledge and ability from complete beginners to more confident users.

Day: Thursday
Venue: Cork School of Music (Stack Theatre)

This session is aimed at those who have an interest in finding out more about Soundbeam, learning about how it works and what it can do, and getting the chance to make music with it, without committing to the more intensive full day session on Tuesday. The workshop will be informal and practical and will include examples on film of many of the exceptional things that have been achieved by people with disabilities using Soundbeams.
