Leap into Action asks: ‘What happens when performative arts meet pedagogy?’ and views performative teaching as building students’ understanding of complex ideas and concepts ‘through action’. It provides the theoretical, philosophical and conceptual terrain by setting forth the scholarly rationale as to what performative pedagogy is at this moment across Art & Design education. Contributions are made from individuals and groups across art and design disciplines who deploy innovative pedagogic approaches with an emphasis on performativity. To underline that Art & Design does not only happen within the institution, Leap into Action provides rich intertextual material demonstrating practical usage in and out of the classroom by bringing in and drawing upon the experiences of practitioners.
As you journey through contributions gaining insight into pedagogic perspectives designed to help you (re)imagine the possibilities, it is intended that Leap into Action will prompt new angles to look at your practice including and beyond pedagogy, mainly in terms of art, design and performance and in disciplines further afield. Whilst Leap into Action engages with performative pedagogies through disruptions, interruptions, tricksters, liminalities, affective bodies, sensory encounters, and technoparticipation, it calls into question what risk-taking means in an arts school context and the tension (even paradox) that exists between wanting to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment and provoking students out of their comfort zones through experimental performative pedagogy and playfulness, getting students to critically engage. Whilst engagement with performative strategies may be a ‘risky’ strategy, the rewards can be great. Enter the unknown, take a leap into action and have fun.
The companion to Leap into Action: Critical Performative Pedagogies in Art & Design Education extends the research and the argumentation addressed in the monograph and provides (further) practical insight into how one might apply per- formative pedagogy in class, including what performative teaching and learning looks like day to day and what technoparticipation entails. This publication operates as an instruction manual on the sophisticated deployment of performative strategies in practice. Each contribution embraces an easy-to-follow presentation style that starts with a contextual introduction outlining a specific innovative pedagogic performative strategy. The strategy is then laid out as a set of instructions (think Fluxus for teachers), with self-reflective discussion to conclude. This echoes a three-stage learning process: Anticipation, Action and Analysis, a reflective model of practice for you to use and adapt to suit your own practice trajectories.
