<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book takes a fresh "how to" approach to Practice as Research. At the "performance turn" it argues that old prejudices should be abandoned and that a PaR methodology and its modes of "doing-knowing" should be fully accepted in the academy. It refines Robin Nelson's earlier models for PaR but sustains the dynamic and dialogic interplay between different modes of knowledge-production in a multi-mode research inquiry. It advances strategies for articulating and evidencing the research inquiry and offers practical guidance to practitioner-researchers on how to conduct a PaR inquiry. With reference to examples drawn from a decade of supervisory, examining and audit experience, Nelson addresses - and offers answers to - the many questions students, professional practitioner-researchers, regulators and examiners have posed in this domain. To broaden the perspective and take account of differing levels of acceptance and development of programmes in PaR around the word, in Part II of the book six international contributors respond to Part I and afford cross-sights from the standpoint of their territory.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'...Nelson provides thoughtful guidance on many aspects of PaR projects: from planning to supervision, from documentation to exegesis... Nelson's book should be considered a major contribution to the field of practice as research... the material presented will be of use to anyone engaged in or considering PaR. Nelson's model is clear, effective and persuasively argued.' - Marc Silberschatz, Scottish Journal of Performance</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Annette Arlander Professor of Performance Art and Theory, Theatre Academy, Helsinki, Finland Veronica Baxter independent researcher Dieter Lisage Professor of Philosophy and Art Criticism at the Department of Audiovisual and Performing Arts, Erasmus University College Brussels, Belgium Suzanne Little Lecturer in Theatre Studies and Performing Arts Studies, University of Otago, New Zealand Shannon Rose Riley Associate Professor of Humanities, San José State University, California, USA Julie Robson independent researcher
