"How might a practitioner-researcher discuss and analyse their work without compromising on creativity? How might research reflect on, and become a part of, practice? Built around a diverse selection of writings from leading researcher-practitioners and emerging artists, The Creative Critic: Writing as/about Practice celebrates the extraordinary range of possibilities available when writing about one's own work. It re-thinks the conventions of scholarly output to propose that critical writing be understood as an integral part of the artistic process, and even as artwork in its own right. Approaching scholarly outputs in a creative manner, and finding ways to make this work 'count' under assessment, is increasingly important for the performing arts world and beyond. The Creative Critic offers an inspiring, invaluable sourcebook for students and practitioner-researchers navigating this field" --
