Course content

Research 1 will focus on the input of past and current arts and dance research. Research methodologies will be analysed and related to the visions, choice-making and politics behind it. Content will relate to specific research cases that focus on embodiment, analysis, methodologies and documentation. The course will also embrace the theme of the symposium and, during and in dialogue with the symposium provide critical reflection on and contextualization for this theme. Each student will be encouraged to reflect on the perspective of this topic in relation to their own research question, which he/she has proposed for their application process. In Module 1, the student will discuss and reflect upon this research question both in a peer to peer environment and with their mentor. Students will begin their Portfolio, which will be a continuous documentation tool, that incorporates a range of documentation processes, and especially challenges how academic artistic research can be documented. In the beginning of Module 1, students will introduce their research question to the group in a format of their choice, and receive initial feedback that focusses on how their research question can be shared more deeply. Towards the end of Module 1, the students will share their research question more fully in a format that embraces their embodied artistic practice, gaining peer and mentor feedback. The Portfolio will be a triptych container to reflect, develop, communicate and document in an articulated form own embodied artistic research.
