[Luella Massey]

  Call for Participants: Linking Teaching and Research in Post-Secondary
  Theatre Environments

*Seminar Chairs: *

*James McKinnon* (Victoria University of Wellington) and *Barry Freeman 
*(University of Toronto)

* *

*CATR/ACRT Conference 2013*, University of Victoria (Canadian 
Association for Theatre Research/Association Canadienne de la recherche 
théâtrale).

*1-4 June 2013, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada*

 

Building on the success of the 2012 “Creative/Critical Pedagogy Seminar” 
we seek participants who are interested in creating productive 
intersections between teaching and research in post-secondary theatre 
environments.


During the period of this project (January – May 2013), participants 
will use the “action research” model[1] 
<file:///C:/Users/jamesmckinnon/Dropbox/CATR%202013%20Creative%20Critical%20Pedagogy%20CFP.docx#_ftn1> 
 to develop, share, and evaluate teaching and learning strategies that 
contribute to positive teaching and learning outcomes in their own 
environments, and which can be disseminated and replicated in other 
contexts. We will focus in particular on strategies that /exploit the 
potential of theatre to stimulate learning /– a goal shared by all drama 
and theatre academics and educators, and also one which acknowledges 
that our discipline – to a greater extent than most – constitutes not 
only a field of knowledge to be taught and researched, but also a medium 
for both teaching and research.


Each participant will plan and carry out an experiment that puts drama 
and theatre in the service of a particular learning objective, evaluate 
the efficacy of their strategy, reflect on the results – and disseminate 
the findings.  During the process, we will connect regularly through a 
blog, to exchange ideas, methods, resources, and results. Participants 
will be expected to collaborate through the blog, read and critique each 
other’s drafts, and contribute to our public seminar at the CATR/ACRT 
Conference in Victoria, 1-4June 2012. Through this process, participant 
will develop professional skills, engage with scholarship on teaching 
and learning, and work collaboratively toward peer-reviewed research 
outputs.


We invite proposals from scholar/educators in all areas of 
post-secondary drama and theatre. Prospective participants should *send 
a bio along with a 250-word proposal* to CATRPedagogy13 at gmail.com 
<mailto:CATRPedagogy13 at gmail.com> by *10* *December 2012. *Your* 
*proposal should briefly describe the challenge you want to address in 
your particular teaching/learning context. **
