Welcome to The Rescen Papers, an online journal that will appear approximately four times a year. It belongs within the larger Performance Arts International (ePAI) publication from the School of Art, Design and Performing Arts at Middlesex University, an online journal that has three constituent parts:

  • ePAI, an online, refereed, academic journal investigating all aspects of the Performing Arts. Formerly published as a paper journal, under the name Performing Arts International, the first edition of ePAI will be available online in early 2001.
  • The Rescen Papers (TRP), a quarterly non-refereed journal published by the Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts (Rescen) at Middlesex University. The Rescen Papers is a ad hoc collection of writing, essays, polemics, manifestos, and other text ephemera from the research team at Rescen, and invited guests. Like its sister journal, ePAI, it explores the performing arts, but with a particular focus on writing by artists.
  • The Magazine, an irregularly published free-wheeling adjunct to The Rescen Papers, this site will host live events, special chats, live webcasts, and other net-based methods of opening up lines of communication amongst those interested in talking about creation and the creative act.

 

Elsewhere on the site, you can find details of submitting work or ideas to these various publications. The Rescen Papers and The Magazine comes under the editorial umbrella of Rescen, whose research team makes up the editorial board. ePAI has a distinguished international advisory board, and an editorial board based in the school of Art, Design and Performing Arts at Middlesex.          

 

If you have any direct comments or feedback on this first issue of The Rescen Papers, I’d be very happy to hear it. Please e-mail me!
