Description
Summary:This article explores the practice as research process through reflection on the development of a transdisciplinary work entitled 'Tasting Words', undertaken by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland University of Technology. 'Conceived, worked on, and completed simultaneously rather than separately' (Brien 2006: 7), the work is the product of the dialogue that takes place between the creative practice and the underpinning conceptual and theoretical frameworks that it draws from: digital liveness, sensory substitution and community engagement. Borrowing from the tradition of ethnodrama (Saldana 2005), it is an exploratory experiment in using art processes and product to reflexively investigate outcomes of a creative work. In order to best capture the dialogic processes and outcomes, the work is presented as an ethnodramatic script.
