‘Research in Real-Time: Practice in Progress’ Conference

The ‘Research in Real-Time: Practice in Progress’ conference is a two-day interdisciplinary programme of PaR performances, workshops, interventions, panels, playtests and installations, taking place on the 5^th and 6^th May at the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance at NUI Galway. Contributors will present their practice (as research) in the now: in the moment. Twenty-five local and international ‘makers and thinkers’ in the fields of film, digital media, traditional arts, music, sound, dance, ethnography, theatre, performance art, larp, and visual arts will present their ongoing practice within the following frameworks:

• Temporality; the ‘now’ within the practice research continuum
• Slow Practice, and research in real-time
• Privileging process
• Phenomenological approaches; embodied practice
• Improvisation
• The ever-present possibility of failure
•  Collaborative communities; relationship
• Mapping and documenting practice research
• PaR within the academy
•  Hybrid practice
• Models and methodologies
• Real-time aesthetics
• Economies of practice
