A/R/Tographic ripples in the water in the development of the theatre production Blindsone (Blind Spot).
How can my positions as an artist, researcher, and teacher continue to be activated and motivate in the theatre production Blindsone through spring 2024?

Produced by The Centre for Norwegian Language and Literature, The County of Møre & Romsdal, and The National Centre for Norwegian Nynorsk in Education, at Volda University College, and the performing artists Mine Nilay Yalcin, Samir Mahad and Jahanger Ali. The target group is upper secondary school.
Portfolio in process spring 2024.
A/R/Tography is a hybrid research methodology that emphasizes the three positions Artist (A), Researcher (R) and Teacher (T), and how these can be combined.
The concepts hybrid methodology means that A/R/Tography is both a way of doing research throug/with one's own arts teaching practice, and a way of teaching through an artistic and explorative approach.

The exposition ripples around an interview with Christine Yanco Helland (OsloMet), which is exploring and articulating how she carry out her entangled practice as artist/researcher/teacher. The presentation uses relevant literature to think with.
Christine Yangco Helland is an educated drama teacher, director, and dramaturg, with a master’s degree in fine arts with specialisation in theatre from the University of Agder, Norway. Helland has a burning commitment to diversity and inclusion. In addition to working with professional productions, Helland is motivated by involving children and young people, non-professional, and marginalised groups.
The exhibition and the interview uses rhizomatic thinking. And so does my own work and production within the methodology and thematics.

Driven by my own fascination for Art- making and Art-history as an artist and a teacher I will explore how Art history can be used as a tool to make art. What are the necessary ingredients to be able to teach this, so that students can experience what for me is so logical but still intuitive? My own daily practice as an artist, a teacher and researcher will be the source and field of research. The research question will be the starting point from which this research will develop and expand as a rhizome. This is a dynamic process of enhanced insight obtained through constant reflection between these three domains.
For this research, I will use A/r/tography as a method of research. A/r/tography is interwoven in my research for it explicitly defines and combines the three domains of, Artist/Teacher/ Researcher and urges the researcher to embrace the chaos of this unorthodox way of collecting and analyzing data and to stay close to oneself. This way a métisage is formed in which answer and question exist simultaneously. By constant reflection and exposing the research to the work field and the contemporary literature, critique is assured and knowledge can be shared.
I will collect data by observing my own practice as an art teacher and by observing my own work process as an artist. For this, I will work as an apprentice with Rembrandt as my master. This method of learning is to be the stepping stone between Art history and the practice of art making. This research will result in a series of approximately twelve intaglio prints and an essay on my observations and insights interlaced with relevant findings in the literature on art education and a study into a/r/tography as a method of artistic education research.
