Exploring Creative Processes Exploring the ways people make and engage with arts practices what that means for people s lives, how they express themselves and for people s health more broadly. PhD Study: explored the ways that artist-researchers draw on their bodies and imaginations through their creative work and the ways they do this vulnerably and bravely
Exploring Creative Processes An Aesthetic of Relationality an aesthetic space where a multiplicity of people are invited to imaginatively and foolishly (or vulnerably-bravely) explore the interrelationship among our bodies (as physical, emotional, sensory), actions and social/cultural/historical spaces provides a frame to be able to design and plan a research-informed theatre project, as well as for evaluation and assessment
