One of the ways in which ICAF has increasingly disseminated community performance practice is through the screening and archiving of film and video documentaries, as well as recording the processes of making, staging and presenting community performance practices. To gain a deeper understanding of the both the practical and ethical roles of such documentation processes, ICAF have invited Kerrie Schaefer to talk on her ongoing research surrounding the documentation of community performance processes, and the ethics of such documentation.<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over two sessions, on Thursday and Friday, Dr. Kerrie Schaefer will examine recent developments in transforming community performance processes into film and video documentaries. She will examine the documentary form itself, its history, the relevance of new technologies from film and radio to documentary theatre, as well as political and ethical debates relevant to documentary theatre, film and digital media. Whilst paying close attention to practical examples, questions such as how video and film documentaries narrate aesthetic and social processes, whose voices are or aren\u2019t presented, and how power relations between social actors involved in collaborative making practices are or aren\u2019t presented, will arise. Audiences will contemplate how film and video documentaries enable the evaluation of and reflection on community performance processes, aesthetics, and practical methods. What does the field learn about making community performance from watching these documentaries? Furthermore, how might broadcast documentaries influence social policy or create social change?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of the two lecture sessions, participants will have an excellent understanding of the extension of documentary theatre making techniques in the making of documentary films that increase public awareness of community performance practice and, as aesthetic artefacts, engage publics in social practice, making the lectures vital programme items for all those interested in documentation and the recording of process in relation to community arts practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Prior to UK relocation in 2007, she was a lecturer in Drama at the University of Newcastle, Australia. As a member of a research group on Performance, Community Development and Social Change, she undertook practice-based research in community performance with local government, arts, voluntary\/charity, and state government department (housing, health) monies.\u00a0Kerrie has since published a Palgrave Macmillan monograph exploring meanings of community in community-based performance practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerrie has been involved in several RCUK Connected Communities projects including\u00a0Harnessing Creative Clusters to the Digital Economy<\/a>\u00a0(PI),\u00a0Participatory Arts and Health\u00a0<\/a>(co-I) and\u00a0Remaking Society<\/a>\u00a0(co-I). In 2012\/2013 she was in receipt of an\u00a0AHRC Fellowship entitled \u2018Enacting Community: Critical Histories and Theories of Community-based Theatre and Performance Practice<\/a>\u2019. She has also been invited\u00a0to share\u00a0this research with diverse audiences. For instance, as a panelist at the\u00a0Community Oriented Arts for Social Transformation<\/a>\u00a0(COAST) Festival at acta Community Theatre, Bristol, 2012, and via the opening address for the\u00a0COAST meeting at Expedition Metropolis in Kreuzberg, Berlin. She was also invited to lead the research seminar programme for the\u00a0International Community Arts Festival<\/a>\u00a0(ICAF) in Rotterdam, 2014.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Kerrie Schaefer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kerrie-schaefer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-25 16:37:42","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-25 15:37:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/makers\/kerrie-schaefer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"maker","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"programmes":{"2023033020230330":{"10:00:0012:00:00":[{"id":271,"title":"Documenting Community Performance Practice","type":"productions","production_count":1,"start_date":"20230330","date":[{"day_name":"Thu","day":"30","month":"March","month_abbrev":"Mar","year":"2023","timestamp":"2023-03-30"}],"time":"10:00 - 12:00"}]},"2023033120230331":{"10:00:0012:00:00":[{"id":392,"title":"Documenting Community Performance Practice","type":"productions","production_count":1,"start_date":"20230331","date":[{"day_name":"Fri","day":"31","month":"March","month_abbrev":"Mar","year":"2023","timestamp":"2023-03-31"}],"time":"10:00 - 12:00"}]}},"days":["20230330","20230331"],"makers":{"2695":"Kerrie Schaefer"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/39","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/production"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/39\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":742,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/productions\/39\/revisions\/742"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=39"},{"taxonomy":"edition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/editions?post=39"},{"taxonomy":"festival_production_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icafrotterdam.com\/festival\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/festival_production_types?post=39"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
