Two postgraduate seminars ‘Presentation/Re-Presentations’ examined issues and problems that arise around documenting and analysing creative practice. ResCen Research Associate artists and Middlesex University Department of Performing Arts research students discussed how the live performance work itself is complex and elusive: Whose work is it? Where does ‘the work’ begin and end? Whose experience of the work should we be concerned with – the spectator, the artist, performance history…? How can we record creative process? Can we actually write performance, or is writing always reductive, always positioned, always partial – always too late?
