| Summary | The course will explore the diverse possibilities for collaboration with the creative arts in the context of science engagement; for example, storytelling, drama, dance, music and visual art. The module will begin by using story-telling as a gateway for an exploration of the role of narrative and metaphor and will examine the social context of story-telling and its ability to facilitate discussion.
Students will then experience and explore different approaches, processes and perspectives which can be realised through collaborative working between artists and scientists and, in certain contexts, the involvement of audiences in the co-creation of multidisciplinary works. |
