Project 3 provides the opportunity for integration and synthesis of learning across all areas with the conception, preparation and realisation of a dance performance/installation/event (s) of 20 minutes duration and an accompanying 8,000 word research paper. The student explores the formulation of artistic materials building upon the areas of interest formulated through the creative development process of Project 2. These are presented and discussed in terms of the broader field of artistic practice, prevailing ideas, values and philosophical discourses.. The dialogue between studio practice and other forms of exploration will be sustained. As the partner to the project the paper aims to uncover imaginative and theoretically sound ways to reflect upon the research focus building upon the concepts, skills and frameworks explored through Performance and Research Approaches 1 & 2 with a further refinement and articulation.
