Exercise Section

The following section, ‘Mixed-Media Performance Exercises for the Classroom’, is an unprecedented one-off section for IJPADM, which we intend as a practical handbook or user’s guide for scholars, artists and students interested in exploring media in the classroom. As co-editors of this special issue, Elise and Jen were fortunate to be working with Linsey Bostwick, a long-time creative/producing collaborator with Big Art Group and many other New York performance groups, who assisted in curating and setting up this special section. Because our aim for this section was to appeal to a range of ‘users’, and because we are working across different systems in the United States and the United Kingdom, we have deliberately included a diverse set of exercises that might be used in the classroom, in a workshop scenario and/or in art-making practices. While the exercises included here are largely aimed at university-level students, we feel that they are flexible and open enough to be adapted to a broader age range as well as to different workshop and training contexts
