FURTHER OBSERVATIONS
Today I had a meeting with members of the academic staff from the Performance Programme- to talk about the intensive weeks that will start on the 15th of April and end on the 3rd of May 2024. At Central Saint Martins.
The aim of this meeting was to facilitate the two-week residency of the two student groups who will be creating group or individual work projects, with outcomes of performative, installation and exhibition work completed on the last week and assessed. The live performatives work will be in one of our performance spaces the Black and White Labs-this teaching resources will help develop an explore their own practices while accessing theatre design workshop equipment and facilities with technical theatre staff as Support.
It is important for me to note how vital teaching facilities, material, resource equipment etc are essential in delivering or creating ’Object based learning’ arenas.
My thoughts…
Object based learning can be delivered through ‘doing and making’ in which the object is created and through its creation, the learning of skills, materials, construction, imagination, sharing ideas, can stimulate new ways of thinking and looking; provoke discussion and open further questioning on learning – a new dialogue in teaching emerges.
I hope to demonstrate this through my Microteaching and Object based learning classes/demonstration-to provoke discussion, create new ideas in thinking-to create ‘connections’ in our teaching practices.
Friday the 2nd of February 2024 Object based Learning / equipment and facilities meeting. The finished learning outcome should be several performances and the creation of a billboard exhibition displayed in the Lethaby Gallery windows. Attached photo of Gallery window below
