Endangered artist(ic) pedagogies: gathering & exchange

This SAR Spcial Interest Group brings together researchers focused on artists’ pedagogies, taken in its broadest understanding to encompass music, dance, theatre, performance and art making. It welcomes research focused on different learning environments including academies, universities, and alternative art schools. It asks what it means for artists to teach artists, how different forms of art are taught, how they might be taught, and why they are taught in those ways.

The group consists of over 250 members who are split into numerous subgroups each exploring a different aspect of artist pedagogy from a cross disciplinary perspective. Important to our approach is by looking across the boundaries that have traditionally separate the fields of the arts so that we might learn from each other and ask what traditions are important, which innovations are significant, and how wider developments in artistic research might influence our teaching?
