Creative Knitting

With an increasing emphasis on creativity and innovation in the twenty-first century, teachers need to be creative professionals just as students must learn to be creative. And yet, schools are institutions with many important structures and guidelines that teachers must follow. Effective creative teaching strikes a delicate balance between structure and improvisation. The authors draw on studies of jazz, theater improvisation and dance improvisation to demonstrate that the most creative performers work within similar structures and guidelines. By looking to these creative genres, the book provides practical advice for teachers who wish to become more creative professionals.

This book considers one of the most exciting and innovative developments within higher education: the rise of the creative arts and the growing recognition that creative practice is a valid field of research. The volume shows that creative practice can lead to research insights through what is known as practice-led research, yet unlike other books on practice-led research, the text includes a discussion on the positive impact of research-led practice. Essays cover a wide range of disciplines, including creative writing, dance, music, theater, film, and new media, and contributors are from the U.K., the U.S., Canada, and Australia. They approach the subject from numerous angles, discussing methodologies of practice-led research and research-led practice, their own creative work as a form of research, research training for creative practitioners, and the politics and history of practice-led research and research-led practice within the university. This book will be invaluable for creativ
