Abstract
The context for this paper is an increasing convergence in
workshop-based practice in drama training creating an
overlap between the work of conservatoires and that of
academic performing arts departments. At postgraduate level
this manifests itself as Practice-as-Research or Practicebased Research. While undergraduates are experiencing a
wide variety of hybrid courses, for emerging artists exploring
their own practice, in the context of a higher degree, the
translation of the work in the rehearsal room into forms
familiar to the academy is often fraught. There are different
imperatives which can be defined in terms of radically
different “sites for opening knowledge” (Piccini 2005: 5).
Aristotle contrasted these competing forms of knowledge in
Nichomachean Ethics as „knowledge about‟ and „know how‟:
we may recognize the boundaries as „theory‟ and „praxis‟,
while Shotter (2006), drawing on sources as diverse as
Wittgenstein and Bahktin, contrasts „aboutness‟ and
withness‟
