• How to stage sexual violence from a post victim perspective? (2025) author(s): Tuulia Soininen published in: Research Catalogue
  This exegesis discusses staging sexual violence from the post victim perspective within the context of contemporary dance and artistic research. It addresses the topic with feministic and autoethnographic approaches as a means to expand narrow victim narratives and proposes more complex and nuanced artistic language. This research highlights the need for ethical frameworks in dance and calls for new methodologies to support such work. Fontys & Codarts, Master Choreography COMMA, Master Arts, Cohort 4: 2023-2025

  Drawing as continously guided Practice: A Phenomenological Foundation of the Sketch&Draw Method (2025) author(s): Tanja K. Hess published in: Research Catalogue
  This essay examines drawing as a consciously guided practice for fostering creative problem‐solving and idea generation. At its center lies the Sketch&Draw method, with its core principle of the “fluttering line.” Drawing on Stephen R. Covey’s (1989) concept of the space between stimulus and response, Mihály Csikszentmihályi’s (1990) flow theory, and Maurice Merleau‐Ponty’s (1945) notion of embodiment, it develops—via the Sketch&Draw method—the central principle of the “fluttering line.” Through workshop analyses and practice sketches from sketchanddraw.com, it is evident how the visual noise of the fluttering line opens a mental space in which spontaneous impulses and effortless presence both set the creative process in motion and give it structure. Participant reports illustrate how these uncontrolled networks of strokes are later experienced as “whispered impulses” that support the flow state. Finally, the essay discusses potentials, fields of application, and methodological limits in artistic, technical, and academic contexts, and outlines proposals for further empirical and interdisciplinary research.

• o fazedor de imagens (2025) author(s): ska Batista published in: Research Catalogue
  Este ensaio visual parte da figura do fazedor de imagens, onde articula experiências pessoais, memórias, imagens apropriadas e práticas performativas para evidenciar que toda memória é, em essência, partilhada e continuamente reencenada. A pergunta-afeto que orienta o percurso é: e se eu fosse imagem? Um convite à reinvenção coletiva dos modos de existir, fazer e imaginar. tal como os vaga-lumes de Didi-Huberman que persistem e brilham mesmo em meio à noite iluminada pelos holofotes… Dessa forma, convida-se a imaginar… imaginar apesar de tudo.

  A/r/tographic design of an a/r/tographic course for staff in higher education (2025) author(s): Tone Pernille Østern published in: Research Catalogue
  This exposition is part of the peer-reviewed article: Østern, T. P., Reppen, C., O’Connell, S., & Daneberg, M. (2025). Choreographer/researcher/teacher: Developing a/r/tography as an approach to dance pedagogy at Stockholm University of the Arts in a professional learning community of teachers. Nordic Journal of Art & Research, 14(2). https://doi.org/10.7577/ar.5460 This exposition explores my a/r/tographic design dive as course coordinator of the course "A/r/tography in theory and practice in higher education" (7.5 ects) at Stockholm University of the Arts. The decision to create and offer this course arose from a large collaborative change project at the former Department for Dance Pedagogy. The project led to a revision of the BA in Dance Pedagogy into an a/r/tographic study program, emphasizing the entangled roles of choreographer, researcher, and teacher. The course was developed to support professional development in a/r/tography for staff teaching across arts disciplines in higher education. As course coordinator, I dove into the course design a/r/tographically.

• 5 år etter- en musikksosiologisk undersøkelse av unge og nyetablerte musikeres levekår (2025) author(s): Marianne Baudouin Lie published in: Research Catalogue
  Som ferdigutdannede frilansere har profesjonelle musikkutøvere hverken fast ansettelse eller forutsigbare arbeidstider, så hverdagen for mange vil aldri bli helt forutsigbar uavhengig av hvor mange spillejobber man får eller hvor mye man underviser. Musikere er også en yrkesgruppe som kontinuerlig ser seg nødt til å kjempe for sin egen status i samfunnet, og i så måte «rettferdiggjøre» sin egen eksistens som profesjonell utøver. Dette kan gjelde ovenfor både «outsidere», som nedvurderer verdien av deres håndverk og kunnskap – i et tilfelle fikk en informant en kommentar fra egen svigermor om «å finne seg en ordentlig jobb» i tillegg til musikken – og andre «insidere», ved at man hele tiden vurderes på ens evne til å spille bra og prestere i møte med publikum – en informant kommenterte at «man er kun så god som den siste spillejobben man gjorde». Til tross for enkelte goder og oppsider med musikeryrket, er det mange utfordringer for de som dedikerer seg til musikken på fulltid.

  The Solresol Birdsong Translator - Media for PhD submission (2025) author(s): Jim Lloyd published in: Research Catalogue
  Here are some examples of outputs of the Solresol Birsong Translator. This forms part of the work presented for a PhD at Newcastle University. A device was built that ‘listens’ to birdsong and translates this into human speech utilising the obscure musical language Solresol (François Sudre, 1866). Birdsong is analysed and converted into musical notes (one octave in the scale of C Major: do-re-me-fa-sol-la-ti). These seven notes are grouped to form four-note ‘words’ that are looked-up in the Solresol-English dictionary. Each note also has a rainbow colour assigned to it. In a variety of configurations, the device can output the birdsong, notes, music, translated words, and colours. Text and MIDI (music) files can both be saved for further output or processing. The software can run in a variety of modes and on a variety of hardware, including PC and Raspberry Pi. It can make use of both live and recorded birdsong.
