WHAT IS PRACTICE AS RESEARCH?

Practice as research (PAR) and practice-based research (PBR) and ‘research through practice’, ‘research by practice’, ‘performance as research’ are contested terms that resist close definition. Practice as research and practice-based research are frequently used interchangeably to suggest a relationship of research between theory and practice. Broadly speaking, practice as research is an attempt to see and understand performance media practices and processes as arenas in which knowledges might be opened. The institutional acceptance of practice as research in the higher education sector acknowledges fundamental epistemological issues that can only be addressed in and through theatre, dance, film, TV and video practices.
