Rediscovering Traditional Scenic Art Technique: Transformation

Researcher: Mr. Jonathan GOODWIN

Synopsis

Jon explains to us how he incorporates PaR into his teaching to rediscover a traditional technique through systematic questioning, experimentation, documentation, reflection and modification, which allows the students and himself to gain new knowledge about the technique. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, Jon and his students remained committed to completing the project, and managed to create results that were very satisfying to the team.
