Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA)

Interdisciplinary Research Group

The Royal Academy of Art and the Royal Conservatoire together with the Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) at Leiden University are developing a new platform for research in and with the arts, with an emphasis on collaboration.

The platform should enable artists and designers to exchange knowledge and experience and increase the visibility of their research. It aims to stimulate new initiatives and enable collaboration between researchers, within and beyond the boundaries

Interdisciplinary Research Group

One of the Research Platform’s first initiatives was to set up an experimental, one-year, Interdisciplinary Research Group. Together with lectors Paul Craenen (KC) and Alice Twemlow (KABK), this year’s participants Justin Bennett (KC), Lyndsey Housden (KABK), Thalia Hoffman (ACPA) and Jed Wentz (ACPA), explore the points of connection between their research practices.
