The PD check-in sessions are a vital part of our shared research environment, offering
regular moments for candidates to reconnect, reflect, and exchange practices within the PD
community. Facilitated by PD candidates themselves- with support from the Programme
Manager - each session centres around a research or practice-based inquiry proposed by
one of the participants. These inquiries open up space for critical engagement and
multidimensional perspectives, enriching our collective understanding of themes relevant to
artistic and creative research.
Each session can take on a different form of activation: from (embodied) workshops to
performative lectures, in depth-discussion in smaller groups, screenings, or other
experimental formats. Twice a year, we meet in person for a full-day session with invited
guests and extended formats. By partnering with cultural institutions or platforms, we
intentionally position our research within the broader field of artistic and professional
practice.
While participation is informal and voluntary, we warmly encourage you to attend whenever
possible. These gatherings offer not only inspiration and joy, but also valuable resonance,
feedback, and connection with fellow researchers.
By joining the PD check-ins, you stay attuned to the ongoing research dynamics of the
cohort, while contributing to a culture of mutual learning and exchange.
