Abstract
The debate on practice as research (PaR) in South Africa shares the same sense of frustration experienced internationally. This feeling has grown stronger over the years, particularly with the advent of a new, highly pragmatic, outcomes-based approach to tertiary education and a controversial system of financial reward for research outputs.
Founded on the author’s experiences as a founding member of the NRF Rating Panel, some of these arguments were first presented at Dramatic Learning Spaces: A South African Research Conference in Pietermaritzburg on 24 April 2004 and published in South African Theatre Journal (SATJ) 19 (2005): 9–34. This article explores those early ideas further.
