Description

This hands-on guide offers a wide range of creative prompts and pathways for artists, students and teachers of performance. Leslie Hill and Helen Paris present 'Curious Methods', a hybrid approach that combines critical thinking tools with practical exercises.

The book draws on the authors' extensive experience running interdisciplinary artist workshops and teaching devising and performance making. It provides numerous exercises and suggestions for devising, composing and editing original works, as well as tools for giving and receiving feedback and framing artistic work within academic research contexts.

Readers can choose to dip in and out of the book, following a course or working section by section. The 'Curious Methods' approach encourages users to take risks and explore their practice with confidence, using exercises that are carefully described and contextualized in relation to contemporary performance practice and relevant political contexts.
