Summary
The course content is suitable for practitioners from any artform or creative discipline, including dancers/choreographers, musicians, story tellers, fine artists, installation artists, sound artists, architects and land artists, and those who see living and being as an art practice.
“Any artist who is attentive…in engaging with place will not only research and reveal environmental crisis but will also do so in a complex, integrated and subtle fashion; the resultant work will avoid stridency and dogma, but will nevertheless inform, challenge, inspire and disturb in ways that perhaps only the arts can.” Fritjof Capra, The Hidden Connections
This course is a metadisciplinary taught Master’s programme designed for artists with an established practice, to help them foster creative projects fit for the climate crisis, and the ecological, social, and ethical challenges we all face. Through a series of themed labs utilising the interior and exterior spaces of the Dartington estate you will develop your work in the context of the inevitable paradigm shift required in our societies, economies and cultures.
Without attempting to create definitions in this highly contested field, the programme nevertheless encourages examination of Arts and Ecology as an academic field of practice. As well as this more theoretical, academic work, we will also provide an opportunity for arts practitioners to revisit and reshape their work through an ecological lens, supporting a broad range of creative forms and outputs. Crucially, there is no distinction here between fine art practice, performing arts, applied arts, design, writing, or any other arts practice.
