Event Two: Practice Research; an ever-unfolding methodology
Tuesday 30th May 2023
Dr. Dana Blackstone
Dana Blackstone is a researcher, performer, and Module/Year Coordinator for BA American Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford College. She is a graduate of Royal Central School’s MA Actor Training and Coaching, and was a recipient of Canterbury Christ Church University's Full-time University Scholarship, which she utilised towards completion of her PhD exploring compassion-based practices and multi-representation in a feminist ensemble actor training. Dana has presented and published her research in a number of academic communities, and her interests include intersectional feminist practice/pedagogy, community, actor training and self/social development, and the celebration of overlooked, historically marginalised contributors to the actor training canon.
About Event:
In 'Practice Research; an ever-unfolding methodology' Dr Dana Blackstone offers her Phd Thesis (Through 'the Gauntlet': Creating multi-representative practices of community and 'dialogic gaze' using compassion based exercises in a feminist actor training) as an example of Practice Research that engages in its methodology as an ongoing praxis of theory, action, and reflection.
Join us for a presentation of PR as ever-unfolding methodology, and a post presentation discussion with Dr Blackstone as part of the CHASE PaR Network series
