Abstract
This article presents a conversation between one professor and two students in the Ph.D. programme at The Creative School, Toronto Metropolitan University, the first in Canada to offer a dedicated practice-based Ph.D. opportunity to candidates from all creative disciplines. The discussion covers our own experiences of practice-based research and research-creation and describes how this can be an extraordinarily powerful way to explore issues of identity, community, exclusion and inclusion, creativity and human existence. We each share our individual pathways to practice-based research through the lens of garment-making, performance and music making, and how we have each found a place in the university to explore ideas and research through these mediums. We consider our experiences of making, doing and thinking about practice, and what this means as an impactful and transformational source of knowledge.
