PRAG-UK ‘Web of Arts’ Roundtable Event: Spring 2020
Publishing Practice Research Effectively – A 21st Century Music Practice Research Network Workshop: Sunday 8th December 2019 University of West London 10am – 1pm,
Although the workshop is not solely aimed at those making submissions of music practice as research to the UK 2021 Research Excellence Framework, it will certainly be highly relevant to them. Building on consultation with, and previous events involving, the Practice Research in the Arts Group (PRAG-UK), the Royal Musical Association’s Music and/as Process group, the British Forum for Ethnomusicology and the International Association for the Study of Popular Music’s UK & Ireland group, the workshop will present a series of practical examples for discussion by the participants that involve multi-component outputs (a.k.a portfolios) which make explicit the research question, context and narrative as well as the artefact or performance and the original contribution or new knowledge which is embodied in the work.
The event is aimed at composers, song writers, performers, recordists and other music-focused practitioners and seeks to include all styles and approaches to music making – popular, classical, jazz, folkloric, non-western, musical theatre, electronic and electroacoustic etc.
