The conference will build on the 2001 PARIP symposium to provide space for multi-modal presentations focused on specific practices and themes. In other words, the conference is intended to demonstrate that questions accruing around practice as research per se can be explored through specific performance practices — dance, film, TV, theatre, radio, digital arts, etc. — in addition to critical writing practices.
Here are some of the questions that speakers, performers and professional will address during the conference: 'How does 'practice as research' problematize notions of 'professional' and 'academic' practices?'
What might be the various epistemologies of and knowledges generated by practice as research?
What kinds of resourcing/plant/infrastructures are needed for practice as research?
What makes an instance of practice ‘count’ as research? Does practice as research involve different methods as a result of its framing as research as distinct from ‘pure’ practice?
