OVERVIEW
Transart Institute, the global specialist in low-residency practice-based research, is offering two new innovative certificate courses to our PhD Preflight course to further the development of your creative praxis.
Each course is tailored to align with whichever stage of advanced creative practice you’ve reached. Whether you are simply looking to reinvigorate a longstanding praxis, want to find out more about practice-based research, or you are even actively preparing to apply to our Ph.D. in creative research program, we have precisely the option for you.
Workshops and seminars
Transart transdisciplinary workshops and seminars are topically driven.
Workshops address the development of artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or authoring tools, challenging students to think conceptually and work creatively in new ways. Students respond to assignments and exercises in whatever media they wish.
Seminars, the cultural studies equivalent of the workshops, help students put their work in context and find ways to inform their art projects through research while also getting experience articulating these new ideas, ways of thinking and making connections through readings, discussions, projects, exercises, and assignments.
A THRIVING INTERNATIONAL PRAXIS
Our academy sessions support you individually and incrementally. Sessions advance in three-month trajectories. You may start with a Praxis Refresher course in the spring, continue with a PhD Explorer course in the fall, apply for the PhD, receive a PhD Preflight scholarship for spring, and embark on a PhD in the summer.
Alternatively, consider linking the praxis refresher course serially, exploring new workshops each round, and working with the same or new advisors for fresh input.
Continuing with your advisors privately after your Praxis Refresher course with a Praxis Sustainer subscription is another way to nurture and grow your creative praxis.
We encourage you to join our peer creative praxis and research groups. Join us for one-week residencies and attend talks to keep your praxis vital, energized, and informed by connecting with other creatives in our intimate, international community.
Together with regular peer creative research groups, monthly dedicated advisor meetings, bonding and networking at workshops and residencies through shared experiences, and continuing to exhibit, perform, screen, and publish together, our academy and PhD program sessions are all excellent ways of creating a sustainable praxis.
