Its aim was to provide a space for a creative dialogue between practitioners and academic researchers, and to disseminate outcomes across interdisciplinary practice-based research academics and the arts.
We hoped to create a day of lively debate and creative exchange and looked for nontraditional presentations and papers. In particular we welcomed presentations with an audience participatory element to them, including workshops, led discussions or performance-based presentations. We were also interested to receive page-based artworks to display on the day. The conference was open to postgraduate students, career researchers, writers, performers and artists from all disciplines.
Within practice and research, repetition and patterns may be used as structuring devices to construct, interrogate or destabilise meaning; at other times these repetitive tics arrive unbidden, or even unwanted.
Our keynotes speakers were Jerome Fletcher, Pascale Petit, Fiona Templeton & Nick Thurston.
