Finished an idea from Amazon, the Mock Press Release, for my fun-enticing project for meetings. Took about 10 days with the research, drafting, etc. for the 9 sections.
Same time, different project, I'm reading the artist memoir by dancer/choreographer Liz Lerman, Hiking the Horizontal. She's writing for a mixed audience: community members, college folks, & dancers, of course. She falls into arguing, defending, bemoaning, etc. several times that learning through the body is a valid, valuable way to learn and THINK.
At one point she talks about academic research and artistic research. Scientific and other college-bound research in my way of thinking exists to show and prove or disprove something. Artistic research exists to generate ideas and to make use of them in a public way (a book, a movie, a dance performance). Great scientific research can be "replicated." Great artistic research can probably never be exactly repeated through repeating the research steps, you have to experience the work and copy it.
I have a little trip planned for today. Something to mull about as I travel.
