Work Processing is a day-long forum designed to showcase and celebrate the work of academic and independent practitioner researchers. The first instalment will be held on the
1st of December 2017 at
Chisenhale Dance Space, London. The day is aimed at postgraduate and early-career practitioners, practice-based PhD students, and independent artists working in the arts and humanities – however, we are keen to welcome attendees from all academic and non-academic backgrounds.
The focus of Work Processing is practice itself. The programme for the day will consist of a selection of works from ten practitioners representing a diverse range of disciplines including Dance, Performance, Music, and Creative Writing, as well as many interdisciplinary explorations. There will be works-in-progress, demonstrations of working practice-based methodologies, and experimental arts practice that convey the process of producing knowledge without the need for immediate mediation through theoretical discourse. The idea is to allow practice to exist in dialogue with other practice and to explore an alternative to the standard conference model. The day will conclude with an evening supper and roundtable conversation. Here we would like to encourage our guests and practitioners to reflect upon the day’s events in the manner one would talk among friends at the dinner table – sharing food as well as ideas is very much in keeping with the spirit of the day.
The overall aim of this event is to allow a community and network of practice-based researchers to form, to foster connections between practitioners, and to encourage collaborations from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.
Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite. More information about the event and its location can be found here.
