Abstract
During the last 30 years, the development of practice-based research in the arts in Finland has occurred mainly within arts universities, and has followed slightly different strategies in each, due to the requirements of various art fields. This chapter concerns the Theatre Academy (TeaK), where I studied directing from 1977–81 and now work as Professor of Performance Art and Theory and as Head of the Department of Research.1 To some extent, the institutional history of research at TeaK coincides with my own journey into artistic research — a trip from theatre through performance to visual art and from space through place to landscape.
