Although notions of the studio as a site of practice research and pedagogy is common to a range of arts and humanities disciplines, the ways in which the studio (and its associated practices) are conceptualised vary wildly, and often owe much to professional/industry expectations in those disciplines. In contrast to lecture-, seminar- or tutorial-based pedagogies, the pedagogies of the studio are rarely discussed, nor good practice shared across disciplines.
This workshop, held jointly by the Centre for Practice Research in the Arts and Pedagogic Research in the Arts, offers the opportunity for staff to come together to
- share good practice;
- critically discuss what studio pedagogies look like across the arts and humanities; and
- consider the ways in which such pedagogies might offer fertile ground for non-studio-based pedagogues to enhance their practices.
The session will feature illustrations of practices and provocations from speakers to include
- Moyra Derby (FAHACS)
- Maria Kapsali (PCI)
- Scott McLaughlin (Music)
- Mick Schofield (Media & Communications)
- Paul Wilson (Design)
and conclude with a response from
- Georgia Testa (PRHS)
This in-person workshop is open for all who are interested in reflecting on studio pedagogies and their application, regardless of whether their own pedagogy takes place in a studio setting.
At the end of the session we will reflect on the potential pedagogic possibilities of studio practices and discuss future plans (include potential pedagogic research activities).
