Embodying Research: Practice and Research in the CDD

CDD | Research and Knowledge Exchange

On 11 May we held Embodying Research: Practice and Research in the CDD, an internal symposium led by staff at London Contemporary Dance School. The event was designed to develop research connections and fruitful collaborations among staff within and between the Conservatoire schools.

The provocation for the day came from Simon Ellis’s practice-as-research blog: “Is all practice research?”

Staff heard presentations from Dr Simon Ellis (Coventry), and Prof Emilyn Claid (Roehampton) followed by a round-table discussion chaired by CDD Research Mentor Prof Paul Allain.

CDD staff shared examples of current research and research ideas through a series of short Pechakucha style presentations.
