An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is considered within a case study where the author is simultaneously researcher and participant, using old unsolicited diaries for more than a decade as raw material. RMAC was previously presented as a tool for creating (maker) as well as a tool for research (researcher) in specific solo performance art projects, being the first time that it is approached through an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, bringing new insights into artistic practice and research within their intersections.

This methodology is based on choreographic proposals, debate, performance techniques and practices based on a democracy of experiences that promotes dynamic and open ways of knowledge making. Peace Parade was developed between March and September 2018 and premiered at São João’s fair in Évora, Portugal, June 22, 2018, in a co-production with Évora’s City Council and the Center of Art History and Artistic Research from the University of Évora, joining a philharmonic band, the author and 17 actual and former students of Arts School - University of Évora, Portugal.

Authors: Santos, Telma João Abstract: Vanishing is a dance piece featuring the possibility of a choreographic structure of non-defined and non-classified transition spaces—from the daily cycle of dawn-nightfall to the transient spaces in between the perceptions of what is seen and who sees it. Between visibility and invisibility, virtuous and insignificant choreographed movement, presence and absence, seeing and un-seeing, there is the development of a set of ‘vanishing acts’ as representative of the ephemerality of dancing bodies. From the experience of participating in the creation process as a researcher, I present here some concepts that helped me navigate the process, from the first ideas to the public presentation.

The article describes and presents the results of an atypical process of Design research, tested in a Masters in Design. The objectives of the research process under analysis focus on the development of research skills and critical reflection in a collaborative environ- ment of exploration of the (apparently) unknown (i.e. outside the areas of individual comfort), in search of new meanings. The starting point is the exploration of concepts, ideas and themes (inspiration mining) starting with a proposal for curation of reference titles, with the purpose of discovering, through the stablishment of relations more or less (im)probable, relationships and conceptual leaps and flashes of inspiration through the ideas with the greatest potential (first in a perspective of divergence and expansion, then in a perspective of convergence and oncentration), possible points of interception, new (disruptive) concepts, ideas and unexpected themes inspirers for the individual research project, going through the itinerary – discovery > interpretation > ideation > experimentation > transformation. Starting with a curation of 12 printed reference titles (some of the titles may be lateral to the scientific area of study) plus 2 key titles, the students select and use (for 60 minutes) 6 reference titles of their choice, identifying and registering, under the form of a mental map and on paper (A3), 18 concepts, ideas and themes (3 per title). They then elaborate an analytical index of the 18 concepts, ideas and themes and depart to relate and discuss 9 of the 18 concepts, ideas and themes. The process culminates in the construction of a distinctive narrative originating in the 9 concepts, ideas and themes (in the form of text and deographic). The result of the process is translated into a document in the form of a scientific article that can use the new media as a communication support and can be suppor- ted by artifacts (images) that contextualize the discourse. The research environment is an incubator of possible futures for design research, testing innovation through content curation, collaboration and connectivity, supported by the inspirational collaborative and interactive intelligence platform - inspædia (www.inspaedia.com). Rapid prototyping of possible ideas for research topics among participants (inspired cultural provocateurs) coach, prepares and transforms educated thinkers into highly educated thinkers to be innovation. This article (Part 3) presents a synthesis of the selected works developed by the students in the current academic year (2022-2023).
