"From Practitioner to Practitioner-Researcher"


Prof. Robin Nelson's presentation, "From Practitioner to 
Practitioner-Researcher", will briefly summarize the state of play in PaR 
nationally and worldwide, noting resistances (for example, in the USA and 
continental Europe). The body of the presentation will address the adjustments 
a practitioner needs to make to undertake research as understood in "the 
academy" alongside adjustments the PaR initiative has drawn the academy to make 
to accommodate it (at least in the UK). The latter involves shifts in what is 
understood by ”knowledge” and “knowing” and its effective sharing across the 
university sector. I move towards the epistemological-methodological model I 
have developed in arguing (in my forthcoming book) that PaR is a new 
methodology - an extension of the spectrum of research methodologies in the 
academy.


Robin Nelson is Professor of Theatre and Intermedial Performance and Director 
of Research at the University of London, Royal Central School, and an Emeritus 
Professor of Manchester Metropolitan University. He has published widely on the 
performing arts and media and on “practice as research”. He is a co-founding 
editor of Critical Studies in Television, for which he guest co-edited a 
special issue on Archiving (5/2, November 2010). Recent books include: 
(co-edited with Bay-Cheng, S et al) Mapping Intermediality in Performance 
(Amsterdam University Press, 2010); State of Play: contemporary “high-end” TV 
drama (Manchester University Press; 2007); Stephen Poliakoff: on stage and 
screen (Methuen Drama, 2011). Prof. Nelson has just completed Practice as 
Research in the Arts (Palgrave, Spring 2013).


For a discussion of Practice as Research issues, Stelarc and Johannes Birringer 
will join Mr Nelson in a round table debate, followed by Q and A.
