DIARY

Themes

  • What is practice as research?
  • Questioning practice as research in ‘live’ media (drama, theatre, dance) and ‘recording’ media (film, TV, video).
  • Relating documentation, research practice and the performing media — how do we re/present practice AS research?
  • How the academic contexts of practice as research affect how it is pursued and evaluated.
