Rationale
This course will develop students' profile as practice-led researchers and professional creative artists. Students will demonstrate astute awareness and application of conceptually and practically navigating their practice-led research processes within the broader professional arts industry. Specifically, students will gain an understanding of the social, political and philosophical frameworks of the creative arts industry and its impact on the scholarly reception of research outcomes. This course encourages students to hone and test their critical agency as professional artists in terms of how they position their creative research within the professional arts industry.
Synopsis
This course enables students to examine critically how their practice-led research is positioned within the professional arts industry. The course encourages students to critically reflect on the excellence and originality of their creative work in terms of professional industry standards. Students develop expertise in research scholarship through investigating diverse practice-led research models of contextualising, critiquing and reporting creative research outcomes at local, national and international levels. Students will be required to demonstrate the significance of the original contribution of their practice-led research in the light of the social, political and philosophical frameworks of contemporary creative arts industries.
Objectives
On successful completion of this course students should be able to demonstrate:
- the application of advanced knowledge in practice-led research to enhance the original contribution of individual creative arts research within the professional arts industry
- scholarly expertise as practice-led researchers through active professional creative arts practice across local, national and international contexts
- the application of conceptual and practical understanding of the process of navigating individual practice-led research within the broader social, political and philosophical frameworks of the creative arts industry
- advanced communication skills, research scholarship and intellectual independence in examining the critical positioning of original creative works with the professional arts industry.
