Description

Offering a dynamic and practice-based approach for all Arts and Humanities subjects, this workshop fosters confidence and interdisciplinary conversation to uncover the core questions and challenges of research.

What happens when you characterise and 'act out' your thesis? Poets theatre is a playful, embodied practice of 'radical amateurism' that can help us overcome creative and critical blocks through a process of 'staging' your work for (and with) others. Colin Herd and Maria Sledmere will facilitate thoughtful engagement with performance as a means of research communication, knowledge exchange and reflective practice.

This workshop encourages researchers to use dialogue, storytelling, comedy and collaboration to stimulate new pathways within the doctorate.
