Research 1 combines input of various research methodologies and their contexts with input on how to document and reflect research and embodied artistic practices for the student’s portfolio. Content will relate to specific research cases that focus on embodiment and dramaturgy as well as analysis, methodologies and documentation.
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the perspectives of the studied methods in relation to their own research question, with which they entered the course. Students will also 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.

Students document their process in their portfolio. This is a work- or logbook, in which students document and reflect on their research process. Furthermore, the written assignments from the other modules will be gathered here. It will be a continuous documentation tool, that incorporates a range of documentation processes, and especially challenges how academic artistic research can be documented and reflected.
The portfolio will be a container to reflect, develop, communicate and document in an articulated form own embodied artistic research. It can contain self-written descriptive, reflexive or analytical texts, drawings, photos etc. It is overarching the three subjects of the course and will contain materials that concern each subject. It provides each teacher with an insight into each students’ growing abilities to document and reflect on their artistic practices.
For the student, the portfolio provides a growing documentation of their process, which is used for the final portfolio that is part of the master project.
