Spring Forum, Saturday June 21
The
second PhD postgraduate gathering is titled "Thinking Through Practice in Postgraduate Performing Arts Research" and is intended to encourage peer-to-peer exchange
and reflections on practice-based research. There is an exciting diversity
of research being explored within the "Drama" department at
Brunel University . We envision a shared process that includes feedback
on content, reflection on research processes and articulation of individual
research questions and outcomes. In order to initiate this process and
include your thoughts on that subject matter we organize a new platform
- The PHD SALON.
The
key proposition for the event is to discuss research. In this sense we
ask you to contribute on two levels: to introduce your own research as
well as being prepared to respond to the thoughts of others. In the coming
month expect to hear from us with a more detailed structure for a platform
of exchange. For now we would like to trigger some thoughts for a shared
discussion: We assume that all of you are involved in practice-based research.
The
challenge to combine the dichotomy between the two activities - theory
and practice- ask for specific working methods. What are the inventions
you make for generating working environments in which your research-creation
takes place? Does collaboration play a role in your process and if so
how? What structures, even outside of academia, are important for your
process of exploration?
The
SALON is a one-day event , lasting from 9:30 am to 15:30 pm and will take place in cooperation with Siobhan Davies Dance Studios at the Davies Dance Studios located at 85 St George's Road, London, SE1 6E, as part of
the event programming of the Centre for Contemporary and Digital Performance.
