Presented by:
ResCen, Centre for Research into Creation in the
Performing Arts   Middlesex University

For over two years the ResCen artists have been
meeting in closed  sessions to discuss the processes
that form and inform  their   work. This seminar is the
fourth in a series that focuses on   themes  drawn from
their past discussions and, on this occasion,  drawn
from observations by participants at the Nightwalking
conference of September 2002.

The words 'work', 'working', 'play' and 'playing' have
featured on  numerous occasions and have been used
to denote various    aspects of artistic processes. In
addition, it has been noted that   for some, the notion of
the artist 'playing' presented difficulties to   the
perception of artmaking as a serious endeavour and to
the  status of the artist themselves.

For this seminar there will be no invited guest as the
intention is to  allow for fuller debate with those who
attend. This is in   response  to feedback from
participants at previous seminars, so please  come
ready to engage in debate.

Together the ResCen artists represent decades of
knowledge,  skills, craft and experience and the themes
of working and playing   represent key strands in their
account of the making of their work.
