A one-day event which brought together postgraduate students researching through creative practice with a focus on complementary writing and creative documentation. It was a collaborative, supportive forum in which students discussed their research successes and concerns (with lunch provided - Thanks to WRoCAH!) We welcomed two guest practitioner-researchers to lead workshops: Dr Joanne Scott from the University of Salford and Dr Helen Newall from Edge Hill University. For more information about their research and creative practice, please take a look at these websites: http://www.joanneemmascott.com/ https://helennewall.com/ And the day concluded with a PaRNetworkshop led by Rommi Smith (University of Leeds), with support from Kate Fox (University of Leeds). Some things people liked about the day... Discussion about the relationship between the academy and art, how a practice based researcher can navigate this effectively. The experience and methodologies of more experienced PAR lecturers. The language and tools I was given to help incorporate research into my practice - in particular the idea of complementary writing. Discussing the different uses of text and what PAR looks like as a thesis! PaR is not much discussed in music, so it was very enlightening to see the engagement of other disciplines with this, and to hear about so many exciting research projects. The final session which offered practical examples of practice imbricated in reflection was a great way to conclude the day And some more general comments... Incredibly useful for networking connections and to hear the approaches and experiences of others. I found the event extremely helpful in formulating my own research and being able to share and see examples of other peoples' academic, plus talks by current academics was invaluable. Kind people, and highly energetic and poetic atmosphere. It's brilliant!
