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.

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.
Dance pedagogical practices in contemporary times: a new BA in Dance Pedagogy
(2025)
author(s): Camilla Reppen

The Bachelors’s Programme in Dance Pedagogy at Stockholm University of the Arts, Sweden, have gone through a major restructuring leading to an updated program, on demand by students and staff.
This exposition gives you an overview of the process of changing the program during the years 2020 - 2023. It guides you through the phases of the change project, highlights documents governing and forming the changes made, and links to research that were conducted during the project period and that deepened the knowledge created through the change process.
Our first step was to listen into the field’s concerns and ideas about dance education today. We scanned the field for signals of change and created a collaborative map of dance pedagogical practices in contemporary times. From this map we derived design principles and scenarios for a new BA in Dance Pedagogy. After a workshop series with students of the department, it was decided that the new program should be based on the hybrid research methodology A/R/Tography. A new educational plan and course plans were created for the new BA. Courses corresponding to the positions as artist, researcher, and teacher of A/R/Tography were developed for the program, and dance genre specific courses were also created. All new courses of the program combines theory and practice, and students are prepared for a changing and complex work life combining artistic, teaching and researching practice.

5 år etter- en musikksosiologisk undersøkelse av unge og nyetablerte musikeres levekår
(2025)

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.
