Expanded Practice and Curation as Creative Process: An Introductory Assemblage

In this contextualising introductory essay, the authors reflect on the ways in which the material, institutional context of UK Higher Education informed their initial thinking around the twin concepts of expanded practice and curation as creative process. These concepts are framed in relation to the wider field of curation, Linden's previous Curating Knowledge research project and Nelson's (2013) notion of praxis as an imbrication of practice and theory. Finally, the authors reflect on the other contributions comprising this Special Edition of REPERTÓRIO: Teatro e Dança , identifying the emerging conceptual frameworks and key praxical concerns that fellow authors are identifying in relation to curation and expanded practice in the performing arts, reflecting on how this paradigm may resonate within international contexts.
