Creative Collaborations:
a workshop with Paul Carter and Estelle Barrett
Friday 18 September 2009
Deakin University, Burwood

Postgraduate students and Early Career Researchers working in the broad area of creative research are warmly invited to apply to attend Creative Collaborations, a one-day workshop with Paul Carter (independent scholar and creative director of 'Material Thinking' creative research studio) and Estelle Barrett (Assoc. Prof. in Art Theory, Media and Communication, Deakin University).

'Creative Collaborations' offers an opportunity for participants to explore a range of themes related to the roles of creativity, creative practice and collaboration as they occur both inside and outside the academy.  The workshop will address questions such as,

 *   how is creative work a site for knowledge-making?
 *   how might theoretical work be located within creative research projects?
 *   in what ways can the methods and outcomes of practice as research benefit the creative and other industries?
 *   how can the impact of creative practice as research be measured and more clearly articulated?
Following an inclusive group session in the morning, Paul Carter and Estelle Barrett will each convene a discussion session: one focused on the role of creative methods in cultural research projects, and the other on the application of creative (or practice-based) research in cross-disciplinary academic and industry-based projects.  Participants should come ready to talk about their own creative research projects, and to take part in lively discussion and group work.

Further details about the background to the workshop can be found at:
