DANCING over IDEAS of Research

In a university context, ‘research methodologies’ and ‘research methods’ have different meanings and purposes.

At the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) of Nanyang Technological University Singapore (NTU), academic research, artistic research, and design research constitute both the educational backgrounds of faculty (as supervisors and instructors) and the epistemological foundations for the graduate studies.

A new graduate course was recently created to introduce a method to do research. D.A.N.C.I.N.G.stands for “Definition, Assumption, Notion, Concept, Interpretation, Narrative, Gamut”, as a path to identify, retrieve, aggregate and organize relevant materials to start an academic discourse. The DANCING method experiments cutting-edge technologies and media to facilitate the transcultural teaching of complex ideas. This event extends the exploration of the DANCING method and what NTU construed in academic, design, and artistic research.
