Description
In this multi-disciplinary event, Scottish Dance Theatre and author and researcher Dr Marisa De Andrade explored the notion of research in the arts, academia and science. What does research-based practice look like today and, crucially, what does it do? What insights can an embodied methodology offer into enquiry and how it may provide us with valuable evidence to bring about change?This event brought together discussion, creative exercises and performance to stimulate a thought-provoking environment. The evening was hosted by Dr Marisa De Andrade, Senior Lecturer in Health Science & Society at University of Edinburgh, and Joan Clevillé, dancer, choreographer and Artistic Director of Scottish Dance Theatre, Scotland’s flagship contemporary dance company. The event featured short performances by Scottish Dance Theatre’s dancers, including an excerpt from Thin h/as h/air by choreographer Pauline Torzuoli. Inspired by the natural phenomena of Itla Okla and Hair Ice, this playful and poetic solo work followed the journey of a man: from scientist to the spirit of a tree.
