Report on MA programs in performing arts. – Archivo Artea: artes vivas artes escénicas

Report on practice-based MA programs in performing arts and discussion about research as art process.

This report has been produced by ARTEA on behalf of INARTIS (University of Alcalá, Madrid) and the Institut del Teatre (Barcelona Provincial Council). The aim of this project is to explore creative processes based on the premise that research is an integral part of artistic practice. It seeks to explore the practice-based research in the field of the performing arts and determine its specificity in relation to other areas of creative practice. In this project, we analyze three dimensions of research-creation: from an academic point of view, through a report that studies the different forms of the researcher-creator profile in postgraduate programs in performing arts training; from a reflective perspective, through a publication in which we have invited different theorists and philosophers to present their ideas on the subject; and finally, from the point of view of creative practice itself.

This report consists of 7 texts and 19 comprehensive reports on leading centers in Eastern and Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Latin America. It also includes certain independent centers outside academia where rigorous and constant artistic research takes place and where highly original formulas for the researcher-creator profile are presented.
