Reflective Practice: Writing and Professional Development: Amazon.co.uk: Gillie E J Bolton. Wish List. The Reflective Practitioner: How Professionals Think in Action (Arena): Amazon.co.uk: Donald A. Schon. Towards a New Pacific Theatre: Practice-led Research into an Intercultural Model of Site-specific Performance: Amazon.co.uk: Bert van Dijk. This practice-led enquiry sets out to develop and test a model of theatre making - called a New Pacific Theatre - that reflects the geographic, cultural and spiritual dimensions of our environment.
In this practice, actors are connected with their body and the earth (they have feet), the archetypal qualities inherent in nature and culture are incorporated in training and performance (return of the gods), a sense of adventure and risk-taking is emphasized, and it relates to the multiple cultures and communities in our environment. Presence, defined as the ability to be sensorially alive in the moment, and site-specific performance, a creative response to locality, emerged as the two key strategies to connect with self, other and environment.

Practice-led Research, Research-led Practice in the Creative Arts (Research Methods for the Arts and Humanities): Amazon.co.uk: Hazel Smith, Roger T. Dean. This book addresses one of the most exciting and innovative developments within higher education: the rise in prominence of the creative arts and the accelerating recognition that creative practice is a form of research.
The book considers how creative practice can lead to research insights through what is often known as practice-led research. But unlike other books on practice-led research, it balances this with discussion of how research can impact positively on creative practice through research-led practice. The editors posit an iterative and web-like relationship between practice and research. Essays within the book cover a wide range of disciplines including creative writing, dance, music, theatre, film and new media, and the contributors are from the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
Research Methods for Cultural Studies (Research Methods for the Arts and Humanities): Amazon.co.uk: Michael Pickering, Gabriele Griffin. Review This book serves a double purpose: it features very useful 'how to' advice and guidance but Pickering and his contributors also take many of the assumptions and practices of cultural studies to task.
