Artistic practice as research in music: theory, criticism, practice
RCS Head of Research Stephen Broad and former colleague Celia Duffy have contributed to an Ashgate collection of essays about different aspects of artistic practice as research in music.
The Whittaker Library naturally has a copy! You can find it here (catalogue entry).
Celia and Stephen's article is entitled, "Practising Research, Playing with Knowledge".
We are the Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, here to support students and colleagues with their information needs.
We found this blog from Cara Berger, a researcher at the University of Glasgow. It documents feminist drama performed at The Arches in Glasgow: Fire into Song - part of Cara's doctoral studies, in the context of practice-as-research
Here's the background to Cara's work:-
Strategies for a Feminist Postdramatic
This website contains documentation of three performances that
constitute the practical element of Cara Berger’s practice-as-research
PhD on ‘Écriture Féminine: Strategies for a Feminist Politics of the
Postdramatic’.
A video of each performance alongside excerpts which are referred to in
the written section of the PhD, as well as supporting documents can be
found by clicking on the names of the performances on the navigation bar
at the bottom of this page.

'Whittaker' freely confesses that 'his' knowledge of feminist alternative drama is minimal, but if readers of this blog would like more postings of this nature, then please do share suggestions with us, and we'll be happy to incorporate them in our offerings to the staff, students and supporters of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland community.
