RESEARCHING (IN/AS) MOTION Research intensives for artistic researchers and doctoral candidates in dance and body based performance

March 19th - 23rd 2018 Stockholm University of the Arts / Weld, SE + June 25th – 29th 2018 University of Chichester, UK

Researching (in/as) Motion Curated as part of ‘Artistic Doctorates in Europe: Dance and Performance’ (ADiE) project the Researching (in/as) Motion intensive workshops are offered for movement and performing arts researchers.   The two intensives at Stockholm University of the Arts/Weld (SE) and University of Chichester (UK) will enable you to develop, reflect on and share your own artistic research with an international group of participants and tutors. The weeks will offer opportunities to experience productive and meaningful research methods that are suitable to the fluid, increasingly interdisciplinary and global nature of creative research environments.   Testing out embodied and somatic research methodologies that have been developed at the intersection of cultural and academic sectors, the intensives will provide opportunities to: •  research from/in embodied practice •  develop language/writing strategies •  place ‘composition’/ ‘the choreographic’ in research •  experience creative feedback / articulation strategies •  consider artistic research in relation to audiences •  reflect on research in the public realm (including discussions with

arts/dance organisations and promoters.)

“Subjectivity and ‘thing’ness’” “Embodied awareness and creative languaging”

“Documentation and the public realm” “Promoters, Artistic Research and Publics” plus, daily research presentations by leading movement researchers.

The weeks will also be documented by ADiE such that they will, in turn, help provide examples of artistic research in process as part of an online resource for future doctoral candidates working in dance and performance.   The intensives are free – made possible by Erasmus Plus Support
