<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"gill sans",serif;color:black"> Over the near 5 decades of its history, Dartington College of Arts, established an international reputation for innovation
in performance making, spawning new directions in dance, theatre, devising, music and visual performance that continue to influence current artists and scholars. Based on an 800-acre estate on the River Dart near Totnes in rural Devon, its staff and students
explored ways of working that emphasised learning through doing and questioning, working across arts disciplines, paying attention to the social impact and context of their artistic output and encouraging robust and engaging international contacts and exchanges.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"gill sans",serif;color:black"> The publication date for this special issue (2018), marks ten years since the college merged with Falmouth University, resulting eventually
in a controversial move from the Dartington Hall estate to a purpose built complex at what was then University College Falmouth in 2010. This, perhaps, is a good time therefore to re-examine Dartington’s ecology, its people, its sites and its continuing influence
within the arts world. In the current national and international climate with political uncertainties, the rise of nationalism and the new right, and the steady undermining of the arts in UK educational curriculum, it could be the appropriate moment to re-assess
what Dartington College offered and its legacy continues to offer. Those who participated in the life of Dartington College of Arts are active internationally and continue to develop new working practices inspired and influenced by the “Dartington ethos”.
Articulating how places inform training (pedagogy, practice, conversations, ways of being) through the fostering of a complex ecology and ethos is what this special issue aims to attempt.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"gill sans",serif;color:black"> Echoing Dartington’s fluid approach to training that positively encouraged experimentation in form/structure to better reflect artistic
concepts and practices, this issue welcomes a variety of ways of responding to the call and actively encourages co-authoring, embedding of images, diagrams, drawings within critical articles. These could include offering additional visual/audio media on the
TDPT blog or directly linked to an article. The issue aims to include writing/images representative of all the College’s training disciplines (theatre, dance/choreography, music, performance writing and visual performance) and of its different eras.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
