Knowing in your bones...

Just a reference to share, I know some of you I have flagged the work of Guy Claxton to in a one-to-one, but as I read through drafts of your work now, particularly those on Module One, it strikes me that this text is relevant again.


Terry Atkinson and Guy Claxton, (2000). The intuitive practitioner: On the value of not always knowing what one is doing, Taylor and Francis Publishers

What we often take for granted as 'just knowing', 'just doing', centres around the out intuition as practitioners.  There are educational theories of Intuitive Practice and the role of intuition in teaching that you might find interesting and that can offer greater context to your 'gut feelings'.

Let me know what you think..

Summer Lab.

We are holding our annual Summer Intensive for the 4th year this August...It offers a great transition between modules, and a chance to come together and move, share, discuss and write as a group on our London campus.  Accomodation is offered on campus for around £20 per night, so a great way to spend a week in London, fueling yourself artistically, creatively, academically. The campus facilities, access to the library, studios etc are fully open and available to you for this week as well as the sessions we run daily from 9.30am to around 3pm. Last year we also took a trip to the British Library and the Tate Modern... there's plenty of inspiration around!

The week runs Aug 13-17th, 2018 
Cost (for students) £250
