*APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS*

PARIP 2003
11-14 September, University of Bristol

www.bris.ac.uk/parip

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 15 AUGUST

Today is the official closing date for PARIP 2003 registration. If you wish
to register for the PARIP conference, please fill in the registration form
on the PARIP website and email it as an attachment to me as soon as you can.

The UK's national conference on practice as research in the performance
media takes place in Bristol and builds on the 2001 PARIP symposium to
provide space for multi-modal presentations across a range of creative
practices.

PARIP 2003 will address 6 key themes through specific performance and
writing practices across dance, film, TV, theatre, radio,
digital arts, etc:

1 'How does 'practice as research' problematize notions of 'professional'
and 'academic' practices?'

2 What might be the various epistemologies of and knowledges generated by
practice as research?

3 What kinds of resourcing/plant/infrastructures are needed for practice as
research?

4 What makes an instance of practice *count* as research? Does practice as
research involve different methods as a result of its framing as research
as distinct from *pure* practice?

5 How might the multiple locations of practice-as-research knowledges be
conceptualized and assessed/evaluated/judged? And who decides?

6 Must practice as research include some form of disseminable *reflection*
or is the practice in performance/screening contexts sufficient to stand as
research outputs? What might be the role of documentation across media?

The draft conference schedule is on-line at www.bris.ac.uk/parip - click on

All en suite accommodation has been filled but there are a few places
remaining in standard accommodation at the university.
