Centre for Creative Arts Master Class

REFLECTING ON CREATIVE RESEARCH
Date: October 26
Times: 10am â 4.30 pm
Venue: Seminar Hall @ The Centre for Advanced Studies

Professor Paul Carter, Deakin University

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS FOR POSTGRADUATE PARTICIPANTS

Creative Arts practices are now accepted academic pursuits. With this form of research come new challenges for masters and PhD students. The difficulty we face is how to merge these creative projects with the expectations of academia. With support from the Centre for Creative Arts (La Trobe), Paper Tigers as its postgraduate initiative seeks postgraduates students interested in creative research, to participate in a workshop led by Professor Paul Carter (Deakin University). The aim of the MASTERCLASS is to pinpoint issues relating to how we think through creative practices in a university environment.

Prof Paul Carter is an internationally acclaimed artist and academic. He is currently Deputy Director of the Centre for Memory, Imagination and Invention at Deakin University. Paul has theorised creative research practice and mentors in this area. His research interests include: the poetics of place-making, public space design and the application of creative research to community renewal, strategic planning and policy formation. In 2004 he published âMaterial Thinking,â which became a seminal book on the theory and practice of creative research.In 2008 he followed this up with Dark Writing: performance, geography, design, which extends creative research theory and practice into the domain of planning.

The MASTERCLASS is limited to 30 students. Ten postgraduate students, from those applying, will be selected to actively participate in the MASTERCLASS, while the remaining students will be invited to attend the dayâs events. Please apply by submitting a short 150 word abstract of your research so far, and a brief biography by October 1, 2012 at pt-events@centreforcreativearts.org.au

The successful 10 participants will have the opportunity to have their research featured on the Paper Tigers section of the CCA website. Paper Tigers together with Professor Carter will draw on the experience of the day to develop an e-publication which will be distributed via the Centreâs website.

This is a free event and will be catered. Booking is required.
