A podcast in which a researcher and an artist meet three times to discuss a research question they are both interested in and exploring. Matching each of the 15 pairs required a good understanding of what both are currently working on and thoughtfully designing and constructing innovative spaces for exchange. By exploring the subject matter in a different context or from a new angle, the discussions unlock some of the potential latent in performance art knowledge and approaches for contributing to scientific processes. Thus, music, dance, acting and other performing arts genres and practices become more than just inspiring and can serve the fundamental purpose of academia. 

In the future I hope to expand these short discussions to research partnerships aimed at collaboratively deepening our understanding of the subject. Will this collaborative work generate new knowledge and a deeper understanding of a phenomenon, prevent researchers from over-reconstructing knowledge in their research, or simply serve as a representation of the data in a different field? This is what I seek to discover by working in close collaboration with researchers to implement this idea across a range of research projects in different fields.
