Notes: 11.01.2023
Thinking about the material qualities of the work you do:
what your feet are touching // thinking about the embodied self
–Demystifying research by sharing projects in progress:
Why do we differentiate theoretical from practical research?
What research methods does my creative practice use already?
1. collecting / collaging
2. scaling up / shrinking down / playing with scale
3. cut and paste writing / writing fictionalised epistolography
4. re-enactment / instruction led actions / choerography & improvisation
5. Using items made for one thing to do a different activity.
**Look Up: [The Discipline of Noticing (George Mason, 2002]
Drawing as research. Collecting / small tasks and fast responses as a way of working with intuition and gathering material that is relevant or exciting.
Consider the potential of creative research methods.

Where do you start with your own investigations? It makes sounds like you haven’t started yet. Maybe you have already started. You have already started… What have you started on?

Reflection:
To notice,
to notice what you notice
to believe that what you notice matters
Catherine Smith, What Happens when workshops happen?
Workshop as modality: the mode of workshops. Is so ubiquitus that no one ever considers what happens in them. Workshop as pedagogic device. What else is happening beyond the teaching through a workshop moment? What happens when a workshop happens
