Knowledge generation

A key part of ResCen’s work is to generate and analyse knowledge through reflection on process, as well as one-to-one, group discussions and presentations by ResCen artists, invited guests and audience members.

A number of events have been presented in which artists discuss and examine particular processes that form and influence their work. These include:

• Nightwalking conference/symposium a three-day, artist-led event that included podium discussions, presentations, installations and performances in and around the South Bank Centre and Greenwich Dance Agency.
  
  
• an on-going series of public seminars and workshops in which the ResCen artists discuss particular issues and themes within their creative process including: intuition, the role of play, the artist as catalyst, motivation, making space. Guest speakers from other disciplines have contributed to many of these discussions.

Knowledge transfer

In addition to our extensive public conference, seminar and workshop series, ResCen has begun to develop seminars for delegates from key performing arts institutions, research centres and organisations, as well as funders and policy makers, to discuss past, current and future policy issues that affect artists’ practice.

Archive

As a research centre, ResCen holds audio-visual and textual material relating to the work of its associated artists and researchers, as well as recordings and transcriptions of all ResCen internal and external seminars and events. All of the transcripts of the public events are available in this section of the website.
