- This book interrogates the processes of collaboration within performance arts research. It encourages debates surrounding arts practices that move beyond disciplinary boundaries and explores dialogue whereby practitioner-researchers share their varied models of collaborative research practice. The book extends knowledge first articulated within the domains of arts practice methodologies (Nelson, Dean and Smith) by interrogating arts practice research across music, dance, theatre, craft, fine art and textiles through the lens of collaboration. This is defined through four pillars: Partnership, Ethics, Performance, Dissemination. Thus, this volume shares new thought on the ethics of collaboration and proposes a strategy for collaboration for practitioners-researchers that is theorised in the opening two co-authored chapters. By offering new knowledge into collaborative arts research practices, the proposed strategy of collaboration (being one of the key findings of this research) has the potential to change the field by guiding the processes and documentation of collaboration in a coherent manner. It proposes a new approach for constructing and disseminating arts practice research through collaboration across the plastic and concrete arts, and how this can be articulated as research aligned to REF criteria. This book, therefore, has the capacity to influence knowledge and scholarly thought as well as the future development of arts research practice. This book was developed equally between the co-editors. The chapters draw evidence from practice disseminated through professional performances. The book has gone through a rigorous and collaborative research and development process including practice sharing, theorising of practice (conference), writing retreats and peer review. Chapter 11 is a third co-authored chapter documenting Blain’s collaborative approach to practice. This chapter explores the processes that led to the development of collaborative strategies. Here the practice is critically aligned with Kant’s notions of ‘interested’ and ‘disinterested’ judgement as well as Carroll’s taxonomy for qualifying aesthetic experience.
