Introduction to Research Design in Circus

Introduction to Research Design in Circus

Do you wish to introduce elements of artistic research to your circus practice? Learn new skills and tools to apply a range of research methods? Co-create a generative critical community with other artists? Then we’d love to hear from you!

Information about the course

This course introduces you to artistic research in circus. What do circus artists know? How do they know it? How is artistic research different from research for production?

Throughout the course, you’ll have space to experiment with, critically reflect on, invent and re-invent methods of artistic research connected to the embodied specificities of your practice. You will work in community with peers and faculty to develop your understanding of the role of artistic research in knowledge development within and beyond your artistic field.

Supported by regular supervision, critical response processes, and peer thinking partnerships, you will

  • bring your ideas and work into dialogue with others,
  • increase your ability to give and receive critical feedback, and
  • develop strategies to account for and articulate the outputs of a small personal research project.

Do you have an idea you have always wanted to investigate but never found the time and space? Bring it!
