Practice-as-ResearchChair: Elliot Mercer, [email protected]This DSA working group investigates dance practice as a research tool and shall serve as a platform to share knowledge, strategies, materials and research ideas
‘Practice-as-Research’ (or sometimes ‘Research-into-Practice’, ‘Practice-based Research’, or ‘Performance-as-Research’), in a performance studies context, is a methodology exploring the close relationship between theory and practice as forms of research. This DSA working group investigates dance practice as a research tool, and aims to understand underlying epistemological issues which can only be generated through a practical approach to studying dance. The focus of this group is discussions and exchange of information concerning Practice-as-Research in university instructional settings. The group shall serve as a platform to share knowledge, goals, strategies, materials and research ideas.
All those with interests in Practice-as-Research are invited to join the Practice-as-Research working group. In the meantime, inquiries about membership or about activities of members may be addressed by sending an email to the chair of the group. |
