CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
PARIP
Practice as Research in Performance Symposium
10-11 November 2001
Department of Drama: Theatre, Film, Television
University of Bristol
PARIP
(Practice as Research in Performance) is a five-year AHRB-funded project led by
Professor Baz Kershaw and the Department of Drama: Theatre, Film, Television at
the University of Bristol.
PARIP’s
objectives are to investigate creative–academic issues raised by practice
as research, where performance is understood in terms of theatre, dance, film,
video and television. As a result of PARIP’s investigations and in
collaboration with colleagues, educational institutions and professional bodies
throughout the UK and Europe PARIP aims to develop a national framework for the
encouragement of the highest standards in representing practical–creative
research within academic contexts.
The first
PARIP symposium is scheduled for the weekend of 10-11 November 2001. We have 60
places available for participants who wish to meet with other
practitioner–researchers to discuss and present practice as research. We
therefore invite you to send us short proposals (maximum 2 sides of A4 — images/texts
or equivalent) to indicate your level of participation. Although we welcome
proposals for traditional papers, we are particularly interested in
contributions that seek to present practice as research in challenging ways.
With a view
to presenting ideas/results of PARIP’s first year and to facilitate the
networking of those involved in practice as research the symposium will take
place in the Wickham Theatre here in the Department of Drama, Theatre, Film,
Television, University of Bristol.

your proposals by 3 September to:
